Here amidst the bones bleached white,
the echoes become trapped in ribcages
like a heartbeat.
But it’s just a sound.
No blood pumps through the
marrow thick like
baby’s breath-
flowers for someone who is sick or dying or
dead.
No light shines
under the skin and muscle.
How dark it must be for the
delicate, fleshy bits underneath.
The lungs don’t know when it’s time to
go. No moon to guide them.
How do they know when to
stop?
Does the heart even know the color
of blood?

Absence
there is snow all around
and we have invited you in
but silence falls like night
and the winds carry no sound
I remember; it was by the river
when you carried me on your shoulders
I covered your eyes with my hands
and there was laughter
It was in the woods, I remember
you taught me to ski
it was getting dark already
and there was still a long way to go
and yet there was no rush
and we talked about the stars
I remember; It was by the sea
already after everything changed
on a cold day still full of joy
when we were all brought together;
there were few words, even then
but we could still see the shine
and the pride in your eyes
as I took h

Shamditions
is there anything worse
than insomnia?
maybe this voodoo doll
who just won't stop staring at me
or maybe it's the frustration
with myself and my inability
to go back to sleep
to write how I want
you do not rule me or my art
take your traditions and walk away
or I swear on my art
which is my life
I will rip your traditions to shreds

Forever
Forever
by: Victor Salmon
11-03-2004
To stretch a moment-
Its elastic sinews reaching to the sky for eternity
And speech that melts into a slow, tender kiss
And thought that slurs
When time slows down
When you feel time instead of measure it
And the only reminder that its passing at all
Is the setting sun on her silky skin
And her radiance commands
With eyes that flit nervously forever
And as this moment stretches to eternity,
The colour saturation drains from her face
And my vespertine desires are come.
The thought is fleeting
Despite my desire to be her little death
To support her roman desires
To feel her skin rest upon
