**a limp body
carried in broken arms
to a funeral pyre
hidden in the woods
tinder, salt-saturated
won't catch
drowning in the perception
of failure
life flows out
and seeps in
healing in unfettered
emotion
exhaustion bleeds thought
cracks fuse invisibly strong
still feeling both less
yet more, somehow
pyre lays unlit
as the heart dreams ablaze
in lost memories
of a life not yet lived
one without the other
cannot exhale
breathing in all the nothing
looking for the only thing
not knowing what or where
but the when is now
as wood sits on the ashes
of what came before
in the jolt of drowning
on overflowed tears
it flows out of each
and into the other
cracks fade
accidental truth is never an accident
too tired to continue
it was found where it lay sleeping
patient and blind
sprouts into the best
of unseen possibilities
the day you carried me in silence**
