CereBolus

Some from the moleskine, some from my own skin.

[CereBolus @CereBolus]

figuring out the sky

[CereBolus @CereBolus]

cyclops rabbit monks

[CereBolus @CereBolus]

the gamboling fawn
now buttercup valley

[CereBolus @CereBolus]

for the taste of your mouth

[CereBolus @CereBolus]

not so much dreams
as a morass of emotional landmines

[CereBolus @CereBolus]

why I don’t post that lullaby

[CereBolus @CereBolus]

returning to the songs that live in my gut

[CereBolus @CereBolus]

sometimes it just takes a needle drop

[CereBolus @CereBolus]

the touch of your doeskin in dreams

[CereBolus @CereBolus]

of all they survived
they never spoke of this
they just moved westward

[CereBolus @CereBolus]

you led me home

[CereBolus @CereBolus]

back to Kent I go

[CereBolus @CereBolus]

I missed out on so much wealth
I gained my soul
I wish I could say I knew that then

[CereBolus @CereBolus]

that man raving about the anti-Christ
that’s not the boy I knew

[CereBolus @CereBolus]

I remember the rowdy boys in the streets • I remember your ceaseless smile • I remember weary rib matching weary rib on the train

[CereBolus @CereBolus]

remembering the silence
remembering your tears on my hand

[CereBolus @CereBolus]

we made a pilgrimage of our bodies
we made a pilgrimage of our sweat
we made a pilgrimage of our voices
we made a pilgrimage of our thoughts
we made a pilgrimage of our hearts
we made a pilgrimage of our blood

[CereBolus @CereBolus]

you said, “Don’t be squeamish!”
I fell harder

[CereBolus @CereBolus]

more than a butterfly -
a horror
and yet it was the first step
that led me to you

[CereBolus @CereBolus]

to catch a tea thief
