a path re-braided by footfall—
each step old,
yet wholly other.-
Split souls splice
in stillness.
A mending’s pace
is shy,
but ever
forward-threaded.-
Sabbath’s breath is slow—
the kettle sings forgiveness,
sermons drift like steam,
children chase the sunlit floor,
grace lingers in marmalade.-
•Dazed and Confused•
Fog-bled corridors, mind,
a minotaur’s cathedral—
silent bells toll thought’s
undoing.
Dazed and confused,
I drink from cracked urns
of self,
where mirrors murmur
in broken Latin.
Moss grows on memory.
Night’s breath bruises time.
Truth flickers,
a moth drowning
in cathedral wine.-
I stitched myself to the shade
his eyes spoke—spring's vow,
unbloomed, still swelling with maybe,
eyes ancient,
like pages of my father’s book—
open, unfinished, always returning me.

Poet: "Oh, how generous of you. Let me guess—another tragic love story where the protagonist stares longingly at the moon?"
Muse: "Please, I have some standards. I was thinking more along the lines of a houseplant's existential crisis. Much more relatable to your usual audience."
