Whistle, I heard through the wild brush. Two ringscalling, I heard it through the fire. The crackle and snow,through midnight sleep while I tire.Cackle,I heard a bit past twelve. Two cracks caught, on the other side. Footsteps crinkledthe carpet, the tile, and a screech, a dividecame through the door, spotted and brittle. Creaks--in the floor, …

Distant
I freeze when I see the morning sunI freeze once it breaks to noonI freeze at dusk and into midnightI freeze before the next day starts In the cold, in the warm, in the dawnI freezePast, present, future gone along the starsI freeze stillWhile moving forward and backwardI freezeAt the desert of snow, rainfall upI …
Northern Edge
Shocks traveled down the spine, heat through each vertebraeA bullet hitting bone, lodging itself deep in the tissueTwitches tried to drive the blank awayTension through the muscles of your neck Fog, mist, the coldest cold cracked the false, warm shellUnknown temperature kisses each hair along the armsStanding and bubbling until everything flexed off like tissueSpring …
