Posted on March 2, 2023March 2, 2023 by Erin B.
I grew irritable and restless,
confined
to narrow loneliness:
sullen and silent
in a sleep
eternally.

In Prayer

Posted on July 20, 2022October 8, 2022 by Erin B.
Flowers
brilliant and innocent,
exploding in random profusion,
look as if they sleep
relaxed in prayer.

Everyday Love

Posted on August 11, 2021August 2, 2022 by Erin B.
Love swell
to be as natural and necessary
as breathing.
That golden, everyday love
was a face smiling at me before I
go to sleep.

Fierce Longings

Posted on July 10, 2021August 2, 2022 by Erin B.
The fierce longings
of his heart was alien.
He had grown to realize he brooded
a cynical image of
the world.
A figure came to him in sleep,
her face veiled but desire
traversed his memory.

I Rushed

Posted on June 12, 2020August 4, 2022 by Erin B.
I rushed
I couldn't sleep
it was home, and work again.
The passage of time itself had left my life.
It had never occurred to me -
it was too late.

Summer Night

Posted on June 2, 2020August 4, 2022 by Erin B.
How could I sleep
on a summer night
the sky starless and heavy,
A velvet drape drawn over me.

Death Itself

Posted on May 9, 2020August 4, 2022 by Erin B.
Death itself, is
depths of unfathomable water.
Things submerged, shut forever in
eternal frost.
Life's end is a sleep alienated
so complete in black.
