whisper - wash - shave and
drop the suicide thoughts - swim
in dappled light - tears

love and dust blind me
and empty sleep drowns my eyes -
song and wine - escape

the snow gently falls -
like falling asleep - drift - move
with the currents - breathe

broken glass and the
bone ache of Erebus, the
daylight passes - wall

learn something new and
whisper that the dark only
holds dreams - walk slowly

wash my clothes, water
the plants, start a book, make
a chilli - porridge

the wings of the crow
fly over the worm rich soil -
on the ground fruit rots
