Poems
Jan 2014
Stale Air
The crushing waves obliterated me as
the air had settled
stale
my sea was not
black
nor smooth
as glass
but
stones of thought
sent it rippling
as you
you
you twisted the moon in your favor
the wail of
gut wrenching
thoughts
gusts
through the corridors of my mind
tornado memories
crack my eyes
I stare at my clenched hands
slowly
turning purple from the surging pain
of
remembering
I will
whisper
your
your
name for the first time in days
run it over my teeth and tongue so
slow
I'll savor the bittersweet taste making sure not to swallow
it whole
Shocking black
into a hue of navy blue
My heart sputters
choking
on sharp splitting pain
Convulsively, impulsively
reaching out
my broken fingers for you
They meet frozen
fractured
glass
I shift my weight and I shatter
slipping
slipping through the crack of your abyss.
