Feb 7, 2009

Petal staining my brick highway

Auroral transparencies of a burning fuse
Intricate crackling
Like the privilege of a permission to touch
Memory that had never belonged to me

An infinite rose of ash
Each slender
A layered bodice of frailty

Sucking honey between whistling teeth
Breathing
Sighs that hide to escape

Cold contractions exfoliating
Skin whispering curls to unwanted tears

Each night hut of glowing prominence
Each leaf tearing to its dance
Till all that remians
Is the stepped ballroom bowtie

2004
