on light

beyond crossing planes
straight from the heart of the Sun
arrow of perfect love

on time

a pang or a pain
a tired ache or under strain
still my beating heart

words had made no sense

so you placed my hand inside

your heart packed with ice

On Summer

the heavens opened

rain filled in every hollow

she’d spat out her heart

Listen

This heart beat repeats

unchanging, steady, rhythm

constant companion

On Losing (3)

I have a hole here

the very shape of your heart

where mine’s gone missing

Flower Moon Rising

Swollen as my heart

Bursting through my aching chest

She rises in joy
