Starving Stars
starving has the word "star" in it so maybe this hunger is celestial; old as the big bang; old as matter. i want to matter to you more than the air you breathe. -
The Green State (home)
The grizzly bark trees
drop their rusted leaves
and the quilt mountains—
amongst snow and ice,
beside frozen lakes—
groan with content
under the gaze of clouds
with the sun barely peeping.
The smoking chimneys -
Buried in Winter
The greatest of lovers are rumored to not dawdle.
In hope of truth my legs begin pacing
down through the forest blanketed in snow;
past thickened ice the earth shows lo and behold:
It takes more than cloth to survive the cold. -
Gambling, spirits, faith, and pioneers
There is this unfathomable desire for touch
after love has passed you by for millennia.
You wager divinity like a schoolyard bet;
hoping you do not cry this time when you
scrape your knees on honest concrete.

Finding sanctuary in showers
- inspired by Emily Dickinson: who saw holiness in most unexpected of places.
Hot showers are almost baptisms
because you have the painfully mortal choice
to either speak to God or wash your hair. -
Endearingly Yours, Vlad III
I had the privilege of stealing your last breath
so that we may kiss each other for eons to come.
Although the disease nearly manifested your death
I wouldn’t change our gothic story for any ransom.

A Letter I Can't Send
oh darling, you'll never understand why i did what i did. I don't think i ever will either. i held on as long as i could. i would've held on longer, if i could stand lying to you.

And So I Refrain
she talks to me about the paper snowflakes she plans to make this weekend, and so i refrain from telling her that my bedroom has been decorated since the day after thanksgiving.

she who is quiet amidst the noise
here in the forest, there is a-waiting
a little bird, quiet and sweet
she does not quite understand
how they could have born herthese foreign beasts
-
come now away
once in the darkness
where i was thinking
i saw a light
oh deep in my soul
i did not question
where it had came from
i simply sat
in its embrace
