4:32

By Corinthian
















Uncorseted.



with only a golden locket
of baby
fluff and ribbon
tied around my throat
+


painful skull
and soft mouth

on white
pillows
crossing
my palm
with
the
water
of birth 

unpetal me

when
your
breathing
awakes



dripping
through
the very
wound of christ
&
films of
light 
puffs of blue 



on lips & hands




unthink
these things
in my
sleepless
lash



I am
uncomforted
below showers
of Hail. 
 


no words
no words. 


 













+
In this
house of
wood and
shade
I
wander for
too long
+
                            






 hear this tinkling song

Dark sanctuary, grant me the secrets she left behind. ... i wish i would have known you long enough to know the secret of 4:32. Each song you give, even now, as the cello echoes with her voice...each song i search for that moment of which you speak. Is it a passage from some tome of sorrow to which you were maiden protector? The song, like this song you've written, is forlorn. i feel it is this work here which speaks the most of your sorrow. That birth which never could be. The death where life should have come. You splintered there. You never could return to blue for the blue of that face. Oh, Sister, i weep with you this day. That echo you left behind, the almost~silent moan you chirped before eternal slumber...it comes now from my mouth. The music goes on. Life goes on and you'll not know how beautiful it could be. Return as some new form. We'll meet again under a better Moone.

    Your mouth is so holy it only knows my songs someday we were going to paint emerald frogs on Chinese paper and lightning bug jars would be on every step because we are afraid of the dark .... say we will do it anyway .... in my dream I wrote you a 98 page letter and then I hung rosaries of violet diamond and fake jesus's on the window ... when I woke up I told him .... this These are when the days hurt the most ...I wake up.and you are still asleep and I can not reach out to wake you up too so I have this empty feeling like I am the only one on earth and I feel scared my mind has tricked my heart into believing you are here ..but I can not find you .....I told him this because I love him and I wished him sweet dreams ...lace leaves ....and .... jewelry dew white sparklingy ivy ... trees with candles and blue halos and there are rainbows in the middle of the night here .... he soothes me like novacaine .... I don't think I feel like catching that last breath ... my baby wind .....and I remember the smell of your hands ....in wind and lights ..... spinning wax infant branches and shimmer ..... you got lost ... you didn't stay always here ..

    Nymph of horror spinning trapped in lily vines and stroking star .. in my womb there live thorns. Holy spirit locked. In a cage twisted wires ....cocoon silk. Flowers and needles .......needles and air .........honey and dirt ......roses and mildew ......stabbing Christ in the dark. Broken beauty broken beauty .... a whore made of frost and weeds ......... no beds no beds .... you are the bell of God .... a frightened fool no books ..no.lights.......queen of sick and spice inside my mouth it taste like rust and sage ....do you see this? Did you feel me my Lord help me help me help me ........ there is blood in my dreams ....blood and glass ..... glass and blood. There are dreams in ....my blood ...... I can.smell.the.old.sky. I am lost I am lost ..........
