Water Bones

Wicker sticks and willow reed
Water bones for what I weave
Baskets that once carried me
Or gather for my family
We won't wander far to eat 
Nor for purpose, pride, or peace
Like the firmament does keep
Fish from stars and deer from sea
'Til return to Mystery -
All we need is what we see

(Dis)belief

An empty seat across from me
A seeker there etherically
I only know, but never see
The fruits of physicality
It's making me batshit crazy
So say I disappear and be -
A fairy, fragrance, frequency
The zen within a wind and tree
I have no wants or unmet needs
My time's not set in days and weeks
And ask me what I miss the least?
Your mortal doubts and disbelief

Bedtime Tea

I'm wearing wind and sky lilies 
My lingerie, my pajamies
For when the sun sets in the sea 
It turns into my bedtime tea
On drifting wood with coral reef
I rock across this scarlet sweet
The chamomile and milk is me
We taste like orange and cranberry
Don't worry, when I fall asleep
I'm hiding gills behind my wings

Chris Crossed

I am the sound, the sun, a road 
The one less traveled by - uknown
I am a song, a psalm, a poem
The ones I played, and sang, and spoke
I am the sea, a wave, her boat
I'm sand and ceremonial smoke
I'm solid like my love, a stone
I'm happy here, I'm finally home
There is one thing that isn't, though:
I'm not what's hanging from their rope
I did not sign a suicide note
Nope

Damned

Dug a hole in the earth with my hands
And I screamed until I couldn't stand
In unrest, slept with Death
Am I damned?
You can hear, hold your ear 
To the land
