I Was Born, Then Burnt

up here, everything looks so small.
it is very quiet. darkness is a silent lover
on the bloodless body of darkness.
waves of static ripple across
a sea of humming ink.
i, a caesura,
wading in the unsayable,
a cup of tears,
spilled across stillness.
the sun glistens like a wound
on the throat of a thousand rivers,
splitting and connecting
our many-tongued home.
somewhere, down there,
a muskmelon cracks open
like a ripened sun, its flesh
white as scooped-open stars.
a mother scrapes through
its soft curtain of sweetness
& pours its gold swirl
into her child’s mouth.
who am i to say
that none of this matters,
in a hush large enough
to swallow us whole.
all i know is that once,
i was hungry, & there were hands
that fed me. i was winter,
& the bark of my spine
burst to blossom.
none of it solid. all of it warmth.
i was born, then burnt.
inhale, & exhale.
& all the beautiful nothing in between.

Breathing Shallow

If I had a house on the moon
I'd stay up late and watch you
And the rest of Earth come around
On the horizon of my new town
I'd send a ship for supplies
Wish for a postcard tucked inside
And I'd hope my lungs would unfold
From a cycle of breathing shallow
It's easier said than done
Remembering those far from home
And I won't blame you for finding someone
No I can't blame you

Mondlied

Der Mond ist aufgegangen
Die goldnen Sternlein prangen
Am Himmel hell und klar:
Der Wald steht schwarz und schweiget,
Und aus den Wiesen steiget
Der weiße Nebel wunderbar.
Wie ist die Welt so stille,
Und in der Dämmrung Hülle
So traulich und so hold!
Als eine stille Kammer,
Wo ihr des Tages Jammer
Verschlafen und vergessen sollt.
Seht ihr den Mond dort stehen?
Er ist nur halb zu sehen,
Und ist doch rund und schön.
So sind wohl manche Sachen,
Die wir getrost belachen,
Weil unsre Augen sie nicht sehn.
