thicket (2025)
After my own heart
I tread a sandy roadway.
All ears, all fingers, and thumbs.
A cloud of crumbles at my sight and sings-
Golden child, rise from the forbidden garden.
Open your eyes!
Hope Springs Eternal,
Eternally sinking its bare, nasty, brutish teeth
Into well-perfumed skin
For such is life.

To feel sweetness burning in our bones
Sickened by the fog of delusion
And bewitched.
To know the seasons of the universe
In feeble desperation
Powdered in silky, golden lust
Through the dusk, I am living
As dust blows softly
Dreaming in your image.

in the eye of a beholder
it pulses
Before.

Sometimes I feel a deep sorrow
O scornful cry,
In the depths of my heart
Sometimes I long for tomorrow and mourn the loss of today.
Sometimes I try to make sense of the Psalms,
and travel long and far to see me
From the palms of my hands.
And as my withered feet tread the same corners
I find an imprint of my tracks facing backward
And I see them in all living things
if they’re really there.
