i.

you sneak upon thy bodies,
swipe divine honey breath;
until thee are barely breathing
and thine cold heart, near death.

ii.

darkness is often sewn in light;
and in light, darkness willingly grows,
for in darkness, light is reaped;
and in night, often white is sowed.

iii.

when i speak, it's not just me
it's a thousand others who have spoken and heard,
who have listlessly breathed and broken the world;
you are me and i am we.

iv.

my feet are traversed
with the brown of the earth
each summer, always;
while the winter softens them with flakes of white.
with the first northern Virginian snow that's stuck and shed--
my eyes close, my blood is bled.

v.

new hope is brought in the small angel flakes;
they glow and glimmer in their white naked beauty,
virgins to the world, taking a new journey.
experimental.

hope you like!
