The Frailty Of The Cherry Blossom

Heart of mine

you ache

****** truth-teller

be silent.

 

As I lie here

alone

with my spirit flailing wildly

normalcy and whatshouldbe

hold a pillow

and smother its breath.

 

**** opressors

they are everywhere

they're in marriage

and picketfence

but some cellular drive

made me leave you for them.

 

I want you

so physically

and cry out in pain

as my heart begs and pleads

for the one that it loves.

 

I need you

you know me

my mirrortwin, completely

Never have I been so naked

as I am beneath your gaze

I look into a liquid reflection

that adores me,

ether,

bone.

 

I have simple words only now

they squeeze out of me

bloodied bullets

I wince as I extract them

my gutless runner's high of a promise of security

wears off now

and I notice and I notice

and I notice

the pistol lying comfortably in my own hand.

 

Oh! my love!

I feel I'm dying.

You were beauty......

 

On the wind now

the warm, bitter wind

you are gone.
