magnet heads

gravel throat gotee
marked your hands at birth
given praise you scratch lines
darting back always to the cold
center wind

eyes with layered ice water ice
gentler then the yells said youd be
i miss you

wonder ifs
do we own a thread that long?

i cut my ties before i knot them

do you grace a long stem many buds
blooming year to year
giving prayer to ear to gasp sing song

esoteric meandering you
ill never forget the line
lost all the rest
my shoulders needed the words
slow arch up
after 5 after 10
we both sing now
reach me touch hold
i need you too
as you need bleed
saved in a boney bundle
he is also grasping at your collar
wrists between red and blues
he cries at night and the gloomy day
keeps him white and alone

prayers to you and me
lets send a smile over to him
