the all-encompassing essence of the hollow is a cutthroat beast

it turns out the agony meant
that whenever i'd find true love
i would just know
that my place would be next to you

even if our arms did not cross our bodies
your warmth enveloped my chest
and brought the colors back
in a landscape of black-and-white

i never knew that the life of solitude
could be this biting
when i believe it to be the cure

the darkness sinks its teeth into your heart, its venom courses through your veins and bleeds out ink
and it would kill your soul if it was any other way

The quiet, long touches
that lasted longer than they normally would.
Maybe it was just the wrong time
for it to happen.
So I'm still dancing
at the silent disco,
With the sound of my heart
like a drumbeat...

New mystical poem up on Without Authority: “A Skeptic’s Burden”. I hope that you all enjoy it.

Farewell, original poem + ISAT doodle. Squint for the poetry I’m afraid. Siffrin and I are too alike. #sif #siffrin #isat #instarsandtime #poem #poetry #originalpoetry

John Frederick Peto, Still Life with Oranges and Goblet of Wine. 1880-90s. Oil on artist’s board. Image in the public domain.

A moody, reverent painting set against a dark brown background, on a dark tabletop are two whole oranges, one orange that is split open and segemented, and at the back a glass of orangey winePoem that can be either the shape of a goblet or the shape of an orange tree, of just the shape of an orange on top

Oranges and Goblet of Wine 


orange of wine
prise apart my pith
inhale the incense of orange
of sweet wine, of slight sourness
of late winter over-ripeness of peel
feel the juice drip on your fingers
the wine hot in your mouth
be quiet in your monk’s cell
hush

be humble
before this fruit of earth
this work of human hands
this too, deserving of your stillness
