I used my last chance, a ride
on the solar system of emotions.
I fell off and sat for a minute
on the eyelash of memory.
The long rope of my only
last and forever temptation
unkind and undone.
It's not true. It takes a minute
to unravel the sinue wrapped
around the idea of you.
Wrought around the music
is you struggling forever,
trying to unravel the speed
of memory.
The seed of yesterday, The
bed of undoing. Red and
ripped I cling to the
final appointment.
Tomorrow is the kaleidoscope
you feared. The colors
patterns solidify and the habits
reveal the dead solid center.
I surround myself with the
sunflower blanket. The
synapse of yesterday tugged
before I knew you.
and dragged
the moon's light mine.
