    About this ebook

    Broken stones and stars unaligned. Distant light and overgrown shrines. A collection of poems telling the stories of humans that fell in love with a myth.

    Excerpt from chapter 1, My Love, The Burned:
    Black runs through your veins
    inches out into the things around you.
    The cat that sleeps on your steps,
    the crow that pecks your windowpanes.
    It coats your eyes,
    your hair,
    your fingernails.
    The night courses in your blood,
    and it is something only I can stop.

    When I lay in bed tonight
    I will dream of you as you were
    when I first saw you.
    Dancing in the dark
    worshiping the flames
    as if they were your master
    instead of praying for them
    to take me with you.

    And I will bury her
    so far down into the earth,
    their hands will bleed to dig her out.
    So far down
    Hell will hear their screams.

      MY BELOVED ANGEL, I am nearly mad about you, as much as one can be mad: I cannot bring together two ideas that you do not interpose yourself between them. I can no longer think of nothing but you. In spite of myself, my imagination carries me to you.

      It’s soothing when the newly dead are way older than I am. This guy was 95. His picture—middle-aged, archaic glasses—freezes him somewhere around 1970. But even when they are my age and live in my town and share so many of my habits and interests tha

      I once was a chestnut, I hung from a tree,Like all of the young, I longed to be free.One day I landed, it felt like a mile.I need not have worried, I was in Hutton soil.My work had just started, ‘twas about 1803.That’s when I knew, I’d become a tree.
