The Pillow Book (1996)
i dreamt of you
and thought to keep it
to myself
i am unwell
and i
have bothered you
quite enough
for a decade
all false starts
and pump fakes
perhaps you think
i mean to torment you
the truth is
no one lives quite closer
to the fire than i do
i think avoiding everything is going to save me for real this time
i don’t think of you anymore
except in summer
when the grass grows wild
and the air softens with smoke
except when in august rain
and the roof of the car
fills with weather
i do not think of you
except in winter
when water hardens
and the snow crunches under my feet
and in spring
when things bloom anew
and the ground rediscovers itself
you do not cross my mind
except in dreams
where you return
the way old photographs do
soft at the edges
untouched by time
all sepia and silver
otherwise
the rest of the year
you fill my thoughts
hardly ever
Tierno
careful with my heart
i was made too delicate
for your kind of fire
still, i move closer to you
warming where i should retreat

winter again
i find myself stood in the street
a beggar
i offer you
a song, for warmth
a dance, for bread
if you leave me hungry
and i keep performing
which of us has committed the greater abandonment
Nicolette Craft
why trust so faulty
a device as one’s own heart,
the compass of fools
N.C
sun // moon
your name resonates
like a reality that
wants to see sunlight
the moon obscures all
i am a bat seeking the
frequency of home
N.C
what use are warnings
to the willing
do as thou wilt
if ruin is your choosing
who am i to deny you
should i wound
i would do so sweetly
should i devastate
i would try for gentleness
you will know, at least,
the torment came
from somewhere tender
Nicolette Craft
it doesn’t matter
how gentle
you bring me to ruin
lover, you
sicken me softly
like my body knows
something i don’t
N.C
if i stole your heart,
don’t blame me
it only looked
like it would fit
in my chest
i wanted to try
it on
N.C
i do not fear your devotion
nor the danger of the fall
desire, in all its depth,
tastes familiar
i fear only this:
that should you drown
i would let the water take you
that should you bleed
i would bring it to my mouth
i know how to invite
but not how to deny
N.C
starlight travels far
arriving without warmth
still, i look up
Nicolette Craft
