Ever-rising, ever-risen

original poetry

Everything in life
is a tomb where
I buried the intensity
of my feelings:
.
I resurrect
        my shock of separation
             before bed,
        when distractions
                         sleep.
.
I exhume
                     my rage
along with the bones
of the sun.
.
I enchant
                      my shame
                         with green necromancy
in the cold shadows
of dusk.
.
I enliven
           my awe
        with a feathered
key into
                 the pearly gates.

I tease
my joy,
             a wayward
                        cat.
.
                        I redeem
my guilt
                  with a wand
   of berries
and a blanket
                                    of sand.
.
I unravel my fear
with a
language of water
           and shapes.
.
I unsmother
my sadness
with an
orange touch.
.
                    I unbind
the wings
of my love,
        so it can fly free.
