Now that I'm left unwanted again
I'm left wondering out of boredom
If a person really needs to be wanted
I'm left wondering so many things.

My hands bleed here

a hum of darker red

cold is the body of 
remembrance.

You – lovely, with no shape

hair of thorns

a ruby in the throat – 

crawl and dig inside

long after the dust 

has turned the walls

a heavy shade of black.

November.

It lives in the stillness of the dried,
fallen leaf 

in the vapor and legs 
of melancholic trees

the red hues of sunsets 

in the thin veil of bareness.
