99 Beautiful Moments: A study

Fourty Nine

the wind sweeps
tears from the sky

I catch them
on my cheeks

99 beautiful moments

forty eight


a small seed turns inward
so it may know itself
before the world

99 beautiful moments

fourty seven

So many memories
and so much hope leave
no room for regret

toss and turning


after sleepless nights, an new day dawns
and the light is strangely refreshing.
coiled limbs are stretched
like skins cracked
and shed

scales shining
are balanced again

and the fear that gnaws
is toothless
and it's mouth
though wide
is not so bold

we reach into the abyss
to find no monsters
only the unknown

requiem

standing on the edge of the storm, waiting for the rest of my life to appear. this fixation on signposts and trail blazers leaves me counting footsteps and sniffing tracks.

she reminds me of my history. of these things so repeatitious that i forget they even exist until someone points them out. the way i crook my my hand slightly inwards drinking tea, these small cricles of despair that i dance around myself.

i could never be enough for me, or anybody else

post script

then the smoke reveals the golden lining of the clouds. and you remember that the sky is always the exact shade you need it to be. and you take it into you until it is of you. until your heart is light enough to bear.

i'd forgotten we
were always this way

99 beautiful moments: a study

fourty five

the last of the rains
inhaled into the earth
fracturing beneath feet
