from Unconditional Fires

Love,
no matter how grand,
is never a house,
though it could be a kitchen.

The kitchen is important,
though in the event the house were to burn,
leaving an exposed and miraculously intact kitchen,
it is not a place to live anymore.

If you are resourceful
and find use in the surviving love,
it does not have to corrode there in the burnt bones
of a once-was house.

New Moon, Who This?

Tonight, the moon is a knife trick set on debridement,
hand over everything she asks for
even and especially everything that will hurt to release
What is your will return to you with the tangles removed
and won't that be lovely?
What doesn't return was only ever visiting.
