genesis

living alone
   the poet works with
   blank canvases and white
      paint

to craft the shapes of
   shapelessness
      the soundless void
   & unmarked
time.

here, the shadows
   between the inward &
          outward are forged

    light fused with
      darkness

    good & evil tempered in
    the living soul.

what is the how
    of your next
                         breath?
             the where of
          your next
step?

the feminine is our
   art &
          inspiration

    a rib &
   a vision of
your heart.
