Whiplash

I’m not sick but emotionally whipped
I’m so busy keeping up with my life
It’s as if I’m afraid I’m going to miss it
Our souls have a path and a map
Do I leave the window unlatched
Invite spirits in or pass
For what is left behind shall follow
And what is made of new water
Can swallow the facsimile
A carbon copy not to be
Bootstrapped but rather
Detached from what will become
Without wondering if
What he has is enough
Outside of this head
Walking the streets
Then into his bed as cryptic
As it may sound it is
A spiritual whiplash
Of halves being pulled apart
Wholes reunited center to heart
Oh how I’ve missed becoming

Manger Le Corbeau

In my mind I’m so in love
I’ve never tasted you
So how could I ever know
Such a pure bath
Could end up
Eating crow—

I let your body
Pass over me like an eclipse
I let my body
Rest under you like a
Raging river to abridge
Our differences
In one story
Twelve trees
A rope knotted and aligned
In a hanging bed of twine
Twisted and divine

In my mind I’m so in love
I’ve never tasted you
So how could I truly know
Such a pure bath
Would be worthwhile
To swallow
