I breathed in her scent
Hours slip away sand like
Her face washed down with teats
Buried in my chest
We could have stayed forever
In that burning embrace.

There lies the abandoned park bench
We sat there a year ago

Now stained with infinite dust, rain
Pouring torrents of strange anger and

Pulsing sorrow- a heaving chest
Rising and falling , tide like crest

Certain gravity to the fall, to the fallen
(pun unintended)
Unceasing in releasing;

Dusk, dawn
Fall , rise
Black, white

Just universal polarity like
The one between you and me.

A hand to hold, a smile to crave,
A heart to feel, a love to cherish;

All now lies washed down
Dust in the rain
Solitary drops now remain.

Move my world
Make me and
Unmake me
Light up the grey of
My long abandoned
Heart


Show me
I’m still
Human
I’m still alive;
