I learned the architecture of loss The alchemy of the without Walked the doldrums Dragged ghosts to the shore The drone of madness The humming of death In bones Faded with spring's first bloom The good heart that it came with If the moon smiled it would resemble him I spoke to my heart She told me he is home She told me she is bursting at the seams I descended From the pinnacle of everything I am still absurd I'll always be These atoms of the edge Will, stay I learned the architecture of loss The alchemy of the without The bare hands The belly that almost ate itself I did I did. I did learn Seasons have bled into each other I am with, wholly I will hold, tenderly.
