Labor of Love

One brick today is one less brick tomorrow
And here I am with my impatience
Wanting to move mountains in a day

Letters to an Ex-Lover Anthology: Ursinus

When the wounded animal heals
It returns more savage than before
A steadfast refusal to feel
Pain and suffering anymore

And so do I return as a savage
Committed to attacking first
In this round it won't be me who is ravaged
When it was you who inspired this vengeful thirst 
(4/8/2015)

Emergence

A dream is an egg
Incubating emotions
Before consciousness

Kintsugi

There's a beauty in it

In being a survivor

I'm invincible

Kintsugi is the Japanese art of fixing broken pottery with lacquer dusted or mixed with powdered gold, silver, or platinum (Wikipedia).

It Shows

Wordless histories
There are novels in my scars
Origin stories

Set

Ellipsoidal seeds
Each adorned with its own awn
Wheat's small pulchritude

Locomotion

I want to be train tracks,
repetitive strength,
expansive and patient.

Lost

Feeling like I'm floating
It's this time of year
Lost in my life
Now that I'm on track

Instar

In the middle city

Driven by one million heartbeats

I found myself too patient in chrysalis 

And once transformed I saw

The small molt of my previous self

Uncomfortable and rigid
