A Reef

Nevermore, Nevermore

Could I ever be anymore?

 

Like your heartless shadow

Black soul

Confusion is more than

 

Real; is false

A false reality?

 

To just speak again

An open tomb

For you to lie in

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Crawl inside my stomach

But don't listen

To what I say. . .

 

I won a ghost

In the summer

One seven year

 

Her tongue was so sweet

    on the nape of my neck

The blood drew a grey skull

    I had no one to expect

Me home

 

You're wrong.

 

A spiny claw in my back

Calls out in the black rain

To award the new, new

New stranger into the pain

Into the flood. . .

 

Believe in not what you see

   But in what is complete. . .

 

But       ?     complete

       what is

             ?
