Letter to the universe

From Ultramarine 2014 to buy click here  Like a small childscreaming in the nightlike a small childpursued by unnamed phantomslike a small child asking for a lightyou came to me.Your pain is subliminalit has no cornersnothing to get a grip of,your pain is pure fright;it’s a deep breath in,a whistling of the voida fallen angel’s voicea now or nothing choicebetween two worlds:the mutterings in your brainhold demon declarations.

 Hands are being held in the corner of the city, summer waterfalls, not attached to the method, will be supple like willow branch bent to net a dream catcher.  We caught each other with dexterity intensity bristling the room static, fallout of past embraces.  I never believed in a God till I met you scuba diving through my sitting room not knowing the way to the door.  On auto pilot in restaurants across tables. I’ve nothing  to say to you, you’ve moved into the background of a dream, I’ve nothing to give to you , I hold the key to you, you hold the key for me.  Across light years of childhood, thunderstruck in the cupboard of fear, watching your fear is liberating.  I never knew there was anyone out there who knew about terror like I do, who knew about powerlessness like I do. I can feel my life floating into bird song unravelling into intricate connections where all I have to do is watch the dawn, listen to the sound of stars falling.

 Letter to the universe. For answering my prayersunswerving allegiance.
