Ode to my brother

We played
wearing
nothing
but
grace of the earth
Unblemished
by time
the contours
of our bodies agreed
that we were blind
to mazes
and
nuances
of skin and seduction
The pale evening
floated
on our tea of red
the sun was a wedge of lemon
designing to sting
the dusk uttered its curses
The tea stained
kettle of steel
wept
with its black eyes

Unasked for

Won’t you come

to watch the evening fall

Dark into my eyes

as I walk

pass your door

Unasked for

Unstopped by

You refused

to cast your nocturnal net

of wet kisses

cajole touches

I will no longer

die in your arms

unable to breathe in

your terrestrial air

I have untangled

myself from

intangible laces

of your fingers

kneading a dough

of my skin

Evening drowns

in to my eyes

Tries to catch

a star or two

Easily you execute

the night

decked up for you

with its many pearls

Certainty

Lets quarter
it all
To each
her individual country
won't that be a fantasy
I would like
to
design
my own flag
everyday
sewing a colourful peice
from shirts I had overgrown
long ago
