Silk







These strands of silk
Were spun,
Especially for you…
And your meticulous,
Eight legged host
Will tuck you in tight,
Before putting you to sleep:
Come hither, come hither…






-Jason





They tied between us
a silken knot
before we circled the holy fire
seven times
and became tied for life.
Then we watched the years go by
and the knot remained, tightly tied.
Mine rose to my throat.
Yours to the stomach.
We could have undone.
We could have pulled it apart.
But we’d gotten a little too used
To the silken part.

Crescent











The look on your face,
devouring
satisfaction or
something else,
what could I give you-
and never have myself?
Like that bar of chocolate
with the missing bite.
that you took out of me.

-Jason






You’re seeing only a sliver
forlorn and lonely in the night sky.
The moon is still whole.
It just doesn’t know it
yet.
