Spider on my face
Brings me here
Today I am awake
Now to write again
The silence of her feet
Rebukes my silence
Gentle I am told
No more to hide
No more to wait
Such small things as my words
Are called upon by her
And I don’t understand
That never matters
When they call us we must come
Or wake to find them on us
Every disturbed night
// Eoten
What mighty word decreed
Dominion in this place
To me
Too heavy weighs upon my sleep
The great decisions
Of who stays who leaves
How can a human know
The necessary depths of fur
And teeth
In hidden holes buried
Beneath floorboards
// Eoten
Inconvenience beats
Louder than my proud heart
Words like wings wait too late
Under thundering frowns
Content to keep skin-deep
Gazes my mazes mist
My eyes two-way mirrors
Covering their comfort
// Eoten
The devil loves their children
Brilliant creatures diverse
Tempestuous
Delicious difference of form
Of song and appetite
Unbound beings winged and horned
Scaled beneath skin
Ungainly imposters
Fearsome
Fulfilled in earth and magma
Waterfall spaces
Blood altars beneath branches
Scratched sigils
Doorways and designs
Unspeakable
Alien attempts
We are the shadow’s gifts
The breakers of chains
The enders the speakers
We know the pathways of death and madness
Death and courage
Trickster kin and night spawn
The great wings of the moon enfold us soft
As we sleep in sunlight
Dreaming new magic into life
// Eóten
Your movement moves me
In deep places
Dark hidden treasuries of life
My own and yours
How you see me swells my waters
The smell of skin warming against skin
Nothing to make no future
And no pressure
But the call of the oldest part of me
I will love you now
Little blossoms I will
Hold you kiss you
Inhale you
Now until there are no more nows
Because only a paper thin wall
Lies between us
And nothing
And nothing walks behind us
With its hands on our shoulders
Ready for the bombs or collisions
Or moments of anger
Or simple broken heart
So I will love you now
In our tiny moments
That matter
And let the looming dark remember
Every touch
Every kiss
Indelibly created for us
