So here I lie weighing my heart,
Putting life and death into your hands,
Bleeding words down the naked skin
Of pressed pulp surrendered under
The first moon of Spring's evening;
Your smile beckoned from the portrait.
Lost in the breeze of love’s
Spangled rhythm, our frost-bitten
Dreams burgeoned in the warmth
Under the same blade that splayed me open,
Spilling out all of my sins;
Your song, like raindrops, fell from me.
A dozen washed-up stories in
The devil’s graveyard of lost lovers
Speaks volumes on the trials of
Cruel seasons and the glittering skies
That held no answers in the swaying
Pull from your unpalatable woes.
