BUTTER

 

golden butter halo

dripping down my skin,

melting from my burning thoughts,

scalding the sin

within.

 

fears unhinged  from my mind

and now I understand

how releasing them

into the sky

casts stars

into the sand.

 

burning light

shining bright,

how I wish I could see

you shining

here inside me.

set this starship

free.

 

refine my grace

and burnish this place.

abolish the hate

within your faith.

 

blow the ash

from your charcoaled wings,

rouse your soul

with compassion– 

your heart with plangent strings.

 

why not love yourself?

why not love us all?

it won’t hurt anymore

 

if you fall

into downy silver feathers,

such silky velvet skeins,

whispering peace and silence

softly through your veins.
