these are the thrones

Angels’ jaws of dying stone 
spat glistening fish to barren ground 
and in the dust they thrashed 
and drowned 

heavenly filth 

so quietly danced the burned out sparks 
from bones to bodies low

beating souls 

I, red at dawn 
My heart, with strings of sapphire
playing fiery grace

these are the thrones






honesty

There’s honesty in an unmade bed: “She’s got nothing to hide”
