Alive

A stone white flight of stairs

Fell my weak bones

Cracked my neck

To save my soul

A window five flights up I'm falling

to touch again this wicked death

Elusive breath this broken landing

One leg hung the other anchoring

To your black nothing

Death deficits and surrender

Ghosts speeding past white walls

To whisper witches squander

Tonight tears drench with sweat

Eyes watch life push

Balance between understanding

Supernatural spectator

These moments reveal brevity

Smooth and slick hair is shining

Black and whist full as the moon is rising

Sleep my dark heavy love

Before this night ends us both

Bubbles and bourbon

Blues and humming

Cracking neck by candlelight

We are barely alive

No space exists between

Broken windows

Beer and collar bones

Blood laid dry upon white stone
