Luciferase
05:57

|

fireflies came out of hiding
on a strawberry moon in june
we carefully collected specimen
not in jars but in the notebook of our hearts
the perseids lit up the night sky
against a sturgeon moon in august
slowed time enough to notice
your pirouette synched to the rhythm of my heart
light illuminates and sometimes we do too

Secret Society BLANKET
03:02
|
|
||
we formed a secret society among the trees
wore vials of each other's blood
pledged allegiance to love
and the toad king cloaked in mud
the wind kissed us as clouds rolled in
it felt like angel cover
sitting really really quietly
as the forest hummed an ancient song
♪ growing's much better when we're together
so if you plant your roots i'll follow suit
sunlight's more tender on an adventure
so when you sprout towards the sky i'll be by your side ♪
we forged a covert camaraderie beneath the leaves
shared pinky swears sheltered by moss
sewed a tapestry of trust
and the doe queen knighted us
moonlight held us as fog settled in
calmed by nature's nurture
sitting really really quietly
as the forest hummed an ancient song

I Wanna Wendigo Home
06:00
|
|
||
i'm a rarity
almost never seen
mythology poorly documented
a legendary shadow being
i'm an oddity
with novel taxonomy
folklore told in archaic mother tongue
a paranormal entity
i'm solitary
shrouded in mystery
fairy tales sung in harmonic minor key
a supernatural energy
but i'm okay with being unknown
i'm most at home alone
dissolving into the dirt
awaiting my final form
i wanna wendigo home

on the first rain of the season
we gently settled onto pavement
extended limbs undergoing motion
self-declared aquatic seraphim
though the impressions we created that night
dissipated quickly from sight
i safeguard images left in my mind
still i was thinking maybe we'd revisit them
on the next good short shower of rain wetting the road
(but not enough to run)

Moss Landing
04:40
|
|
||
i had a dream where i was pinned up
in an exhibition case with a bedside view
assigned a latin name: riodininae
found: moss landing
year: 2019
my form was sketched out on the page of a moleskine
with meticulous bilateral symmetry
assembled into a diy pamphlet
entitled volume 1: angels of earth
later purchased in a spring garage sale
by an entomologist with a two-dollar bill
transported up north to the bohart
a fitting resting place among friends and kin
perhaps a simple life but it was mine
with the security of being seen
i wonder if it means anything
that i'm more inclined to sleep tight recently

Viridian Blue Immersion
04:35
|
|
||
while we gazed at kelvin-helmholtz waves
i mapped out your topology in my arms
the apricot tint of the sunset
immersed in the viridian blue of your eyes
a nightingale hymn in polyrhythm with
two tender heartbeats on resonance while at rest
steady water flow followed bernoulli's principle
opposed the subtle rise and fall of our chests
from scales zepto to zetta i've analyzed
hypothesized, computed and refined
still i find in any theory of everything
love's the only variable i need to derive the equation

Mystery of the Stardrops
04:27
|
|
||
have you searched through the crowds?
underground?
in the heart of your love?
talked with shadows and to stone?
foraged underwater?
unearthed ancient artifacts?
cause i've heard from the valley winds
the quest for the seven stardrops
unlocks the mysteries living brings
it's like a dream

Spiral Jetty
03:10
|
|
||
last week
when missing you burned
a hole in my heart
i invocated
tried to manifest you
into my arms
but at rozel point
eyes dusted with salt
body cold from the breeze
i uncontrollably bawled
holding a placeholder shadow
in the pink glow alone
healing's not always linear
sometimes i just have to sink into the spiral

Private Life of Plants
05:51
|
|
||
do you experience circadian rhythms
the comforting oscillations that come with existence?
do you twist and turn in synchronicity
with the trajectory of celestial bodies?
do you become dispersed carried by wind and rain
to a newfangled home in a distant place?
or have you been too distracted and disconnected
to notice all the lush growth around and within you?
it takes time and effort to bloom
