I am black My glue is gold I am the pot dropped As hands forgot to hold Many impacts In time lapse I fold Remoulding implicit In exquisite way I implode I am not fixed Yes shattered to bits But in the mixed up pieces can bend So I am not fixed And there is nothing to mend

- in the garden of the seven silver roses, the soil sparkled like gypsum. the whippoorwills summoned the moon from her whipstitched #wane, eager to please the gardener whose gloves wore unbearable signs of wear, holes where silver seeds could never find purchase. - #vss365

#vss365 Words begin to fade and #wane Inner noise explodes Maybe it’s me becoming a little insane When words spread doubt in truckloads The Moons poetry understands this pain Its layers of shadows sigh to me in codes
