He hiked himself up on his elbow and turned to peer down at the glints her eyes caught of the stars. He felt the grass flick up against his arm, reforming from the cleft his shoulder had made. It is a pretty boring town, she said and sighed. But he knew that even the sigh was a falsehood. I mean the planet, he said. She rolled on her side to look at him. He could barely make out how her slender eyebrows wrinkled together. Oh. I didnt know you wanted to be an astronaut. &Flyspecks


Without FormAt the edge between dark and door I shivered at the touch Of tin bits of legends and unburnished lore. Silvery vines with searching tips And dusty fine tendrils that wisped to mind The edges of lives, and the heads of trails Heroes on quests with nothing to find Madmen trapped twixt the ends of tales,Without Form
Actors with parts but lacking a play, And apocalypses grasping at aftermaths All caught in the grasp of surreality, Their echoes pleading in tickling whispers, "We are bound. Give us form." But when I reached beyond the door they flew Leaves aloft o


The EndI had come to the end of the world. There, on the very edge of everything, stood a great tree. Its trunk was the size of a house and the strips of bark that curled off it were as large as the branches of any normal tree. I clambered up onto its large exposed roots, and leaning on a bark strip, peered down. The edge of the world, like an everlasting cliff face, stretched down below me. When I looked up and out I could see nothing, nothing beyond the straight cliff edge and the roots of the tree woven in and out like giant dead worms, nothing, not even stars, not even darkness, just nothing.

there are blackberry stains on your fingertips on Thursday, we picked them from the brambles hushed as deer tiptoed through the thicket.
the clasp on your necklace turned front naked gold among saltwater pearls and I ask if I can fix it only to brush against the constellations of freckles on your collarbone.
