Edge of Mercy – A collaboration with Kindra M. Austin

(K.M.A.)

Cleanse me in stardust,

And I might apprehend love,

Cosmically;

For I’ve been shipwrecked,

Cataclysmically—

Marooned inside of mine

 

(1Wise-Woman)

Love screams behind

Clenched teeth

Just out of reach

Swallowed by time

Solitary supernova

Catastrophically

Unaccompanied

 

(K.M.A.)

Claustrophobic frenzied

Heart rattles my ribcage—

A prisoner imprisoned by

Distortions of love lost to

A realm intangible

Cerebral cruelty

 

(1Wise-Woman)

Calamitous heartbreak

Emaciated emotion

A last plea

Romancing the edge of mercy

Waves wash over me

Exhorting

Gracious galaxy

Essential escape

 

(K.M.A.)

Deserted, I lay in the sand and

Look up to the heavens

See the bright, desolate beauty—

Silver blue dots printed upon the black

My jailer knows no more bounds than my sorrow

 

(1Wise-Woman)

Saline azure sky

Corona Borealis and

Moons melancholy malice

Torments this love torn tabernacle

On the precipice of redemption

Before night is done

Echo gods call with

Shooting star shattering shackles

 

(K.M.A.)

Selene, Titan deity—

Mother Moon, usher of diamond dust

I am cleansed

 

(1Wise-Woman)

Love, a winged steed

Lighting the way

I am freed
