I.
It is not written in the soft fingerprints of couples or rings and kisses
Falling apart and together as often as tide comes out and in
It is written in wagging tails and the whisper of warm breath on your neck
And it is told of in an enchantment that only we know
It is not found in the places you enter with lust and exit with guilt
But in the waking memories of lost voices and the warm nuzzle of a dawn hoof beat
II.
It is not logical or rational
It is not of the mind or the body
But the heart
And the heart is a four chambered place
III.
One is for family and the friends that should be a part of it
Another is for the hope that keeps you looking at the sun
The third is for love
True undying love that never leaves
No matter how hard you wish
IV.
Puppy dog eyes and city lights
The way she smiles and the way she fights
His dog tag vows and another saved life
The here and now is never in the right
V.
The last one is up to you
It is not written in the soft fingerprints of couples or rings and kisses
Falling apart and together as often as tide comes out and in
It is written in wagging tails and the whisper of warm breath on your neck
And it is told of in an enchantment that only we know
It is not found in the places you enter with lust and exit with guilt
But in the waking memories of lost voices and the warm nuzzle of a dawn hoof beat

Literature
snowglobe
we hoped it would get bad enough to break glass
that one of our voices
would find the note
to split the window
make a neighbour call the cops
that the dishes would shatter
into too many pieces
to be picked off the floor
we wanted glass in our heels
a trickle of heat
a flicker of colour
in the sun-blank snow
the pines leaned on our doorframe
we waited for them
to pressure in and unfurl
shower our stunned faces
in a rain of needles
knock the teapot off the table
in a blossom of shards
but the trees stood by
evergreen and identical
the same dream of pine repeating
behind yellowing plastic
we painted shut the door
with smi
Literature
The Sins of The Father
I’m the sum of all my fathers
But I won’t carry all their sins
The seed of life is precious
But blown away by gentle winds
Bad that’s happened in the past
Cannot be blamed today
For those who came before us
Have left their mark but gone away
We may inherit family features
And some traits just carry on
But we are all individuals who
Need to know that we belong
Literature
if you have ghosts (you have everything)
my hands were blue and so was i
and i had everything:
a christmas tree
a guitar tuned by humidity
a dark library underneath my pillow
and a voice whose words jerk, jut
and stab quietly into one another
so i may never understand;
it was two AM, dawn of a decade
and here a ghost has me motionless in 1933.
--
i never met my grandfather till today--
he dies in 1975
and in 2020 he is born
at the bottom of a drawer in the kitchen,
his coffin and crib:
he is swaddled in moth-eaten dishtowels by a nameless undertaker
(or perhaps an autophagic author himself);
his crib and coffin:
he is buried a lifetime
(deaf to my cacophonous lifetime et ceter

I just happened to be passing by and saw this. It is quite excellent and well worthy of the win. Congrats!
Is it weird that I seem to know so many wolves. LOL
