BLACK PITCH
startle dark
no fire
no stars to glean
suffusion
surrender
urging wind
brushing
filling
toiling against
the upper structure
and the scent of salt
fulfilling mutual
steadiness
nothing like running
dark
like a truth examined
with more senses
then just the simplicity
of wavelengths from
the broad spectrum
this is more of
"feeling"
mixed with the chaff
of longing and want
this gorgeous elongated
banner flowing
like a mane
hear it licking the expanse
tall in the rigging
and I recall
the moodiness
of your mouth
changing
like the waves
from lilt to lush
from petulant
to pout
taunt
and touche

memory membrane
gauze tension
rising like a lost morning
rising like the living
from the grave of death
Names stumbled across
speech forgotten forever
behind the wall of sleep
and dragged forth
like a wreck souvenier
from a trawler run

gooeyness of pitch
Stretched
gooeyness of pitch
joined sinews
substance black,
dark
dangerously near
ear, eye, mouth,
obliterating stars
flowing like lava
over all,
waves of sound
muted
submission
delusion.
