unfailing

fear pages flip and flip my screen
herds and herds of cars never snooze
guns in pockets here and there

a sing is still in the blue sky
love has ears
ps.44.26

muzzle confessions

mourning flowers blossomed
sad darkness left
coffee kissed
i tripped
the dog in my tongue
barked
the guard was gone




PS.39.1

so salt

What!
salt keeps coming in my head
it drinks my water
I become i
and do not see





PS.40.12

vindicate

words thick and glue spread on me like peanutbutter and jam
his lips licked the knife wet and slick
i disappeared inside my cracks

weeping Christ appeared




Ps.43.1

striv(ing)

my tumor is ing

i like ings held in hand
i like ings that are things
i like ings in my hynms

cutting out ing didn't sting






(ps.46.10)

Forever

count is gone
floating holes live in this white page
caressing
turn the page and it will go away



(Ps.48.14)

ought(ing)

reverse my skin
has a wrinkle that makes its way ahead
more water gallons make me smooth
that is the be of me
time can wave
speak in this text
that is next the here
the next word is here

i need to squeeze

reverse verse sits on me
was is
is was
i ought to

hear Roms.8.26

only (mk9:29)

swim sad sand ocean round me
end
comes
on my knees

ps 62.8 (pour)

my skin is the plastic bag
glass fingers will not.
forget and itch

know calm (ps68.19)

i am a tick, fighting
piles.
seeing
screaming screens, hating rats, where dots are friends
careers are mirrors.

on random
air
a butterfly

comfort

nails are meeting my feet
still sweet sky
still blue

Spirit of healing

between the tears are the streams of weeping
