Achilles' Heel
Achilles
(almost immortal)
was struck down
from behind
his own realisation
(echoing inside him)
severed certain strings
holding him together
he fell
(weak as wet laundry)
his insecurities
as unexpected as his blood
Achilles
(ever incomplete)
was slain by understanding

You Underneath
You
underneath,
brushing the willow,
swallow many branches, while
brushing the willow
underneath
you.
Silence,
they hear the
scratch, the bark
at the back of your throat.
Scratch the bark,
they hear the
silence.
You
underneath
brushing the willow,
silence!
They hear the
scratch, the bark
at the back of your throat;
scratch the bark
they hear the
silence,
brushing the willow
underneath
you.

Mayfly
-
When we were mayflies our wings were
worn from wire screens, but the tentative
beats of your belly chimed like iron.
And it occurred to me that through
the breeze of burning leaves our eyes
were open to wasps and weeds.

Something I've been working with off and on. Another piece from Ghosts. I'm not crazy about the title, but I'm pressed for time and would like to submit. Criticism appreciated, gasps of awe will not be responded to.
