She was a wilting flower, Delicately fading Into the depth of her sorrow. Her eyes-pooled gossamer stars Falling from constellation webs. Bouncing on the tile before losing shape In the atmosphere. My soul was swallowed into Her sorrow, And stayed there. And when I held her, It was like trying to hold on to refracting light.

For Emma
She was a wilting flower, Delicately fading Into the depth of her sorrow. Her eyes-pooled gossamer stars Falling from constellation webs. Bouncing on the tile before losing shape In the atmosphere. My soul was swallowed into Her sorrow, And stayed there. And when I held her, It was like trying to hold on to refracting light.
