Sep 2013
The Perforated Pages
I began to shake
This is it,
A broken plate.
It got worse and fell
Out, far beyond her
As his face smashed
Against the sea shell
A wave crashed and found
A sudden death in a
Hole in the wall.
**** it all.
There was no watch
Last night.
I actually slipped out
Flew out of the room
Oh and you
Looked like the ocean
At first sight.
Beautiful and consuming
A windy day
Lashing out against the dunes.
Thank God
They were there
I would've sailed away, If not
For your last breath.
You saw a shadow,
I saw the reflection of
A memory from hell.
I saw you and I,
Standing hand in hand
In your mother and father's
Little mansion in the Keys,
It's fingers set me on fire.
I coughed and swallowed
Your words of love. I've got
Six months to puke 'em out
It's poison
Bursting in my veins
I sang the song you love
"The Blowers Daughter"
Your father would love me.
It's too late now
For time to heal
My memory
Of this beautiful scar.
Your eyes and *******,
Took my breath and
I fell apart.
