little red spilled
over tonight
from my overflowing
rather
discontent
heart
gushing it’s way
into my aura
i want to warn you
(no)
i want you to fall into my trap
abyss choking
on dreams
shadows have stories to tell
of who was here
morning arrives
again
and
again
persistent reminder
of the lump in my throat
where you rise
and stay
you said
you were here
shadows fall
day ends
shadow recedes
you say
you are here
pitch blue and violet
crimson velvet petunias
the woman
in me waits
the man in me
tries to close the door
or
go through it
two people in one
one in a handful
of my remains
dig the soft earth deep
it is dry from the acid winter
and
lay me to rest
allow me peace(please)
at the tips
now beneath the skin
almost within reach
and yet
not.
in a finality of beseeching lay me to rest
allow me peace(please)
at the tips
now beneath the skin
almost within reach
and yet
not
in a finality of beseeching
silence falls on me
pleading
(for) your presence
now
a layer
of
dust and seeds
fill my mouth
flowers will grow
where words once begged
rapture without a god
resurrecting in
crimson velvet petunias
…
