glimmering hysteria
plant-crawling walls
thick sentimental syrup
entomb in sticky madness
suspend in sweet relief
cold rain falls incessantly
caught by my cup
and the ridge of my lip
mix with what I’ve got
drink it down in disbelief
the winter did stay
despite the spring
blossoms come forth when beckoned
love skate across my mind
as from a tree falls the leaf
in weather there is no resolve
as when the sun did peak
to send a message that dissolves upon deliverance:
your possession is unfounded
your grip is your grief
rain
blossoms
a taste of honey
from a nest I’ve known intimately
the smile remains; happiness was brief
what I want cannot be;
I’m just glad that you exist outside of memory
