😏
they said
they said
"She won't make it through the night"
breath, sucked out of me
fast and ferocious
instant grief
night three
she is still breathing
In a deep sleep
"No change" they said
prepared her for
end of life
played her, Elvis
on my phone
sprayed her favourite perfume
felt her sigh
she woke up
that night
they said
"She will never walk or talk again"
she was eating her icecream
saying, yes and no
the following morning

Heavy
I'm soaked in sadness
it's stuck in my throat
that lump of pain
making it difficult
to swallow
not talking
to stop the banks
from breaking
the weight
trying to bring me
to my knees...

Where wild flowers grow
I hear an echo
when you falter
did you empty your room?
does it no longer comfort you
do I
no longer keep you
whole-
how far away from me
are you?
In your empty room
picking at my nails
that are still
clinging to the earth
where I dug
deep and bare
to find only
worms
purged my thoughts
of you
into the hole
and filled it in
wondering
if flowers will grow
when you falter
did you empty your room?
does it no longer comfort you
do I
no longer keep you
whole-
how far away from me
are you?
In your empty room
picking at my nails
that are still
clinging to the earth
where I dug
deep and bare
to find only
worms
purged my thoughts
of you
into the hole
and filled it in
wondering
if flowers will grow

The soughing of these bones
If he was
a stoplight voodoo
chocolate, coffee, autumn
squeezing summer
from his pores
a word babe
swanky forget-me-not
-original
a bohemian night
trail blazing
my archives
If he was
anything
born of ocean thoughts
a sea-star
crystal galaxy
angel fish
a moonstone pool
of new beginnings
the shift in my
battle wrought soul
If he
bewitched the
silk spun threads
of my existence
murmured ritualistic ...

it was something about the way you held yourself (an oldie)
remembering the stuff you said
it mentioned fucking something to feel alive
there was a void, a place of imploding ribs
an echo of desire all more than breath
more than air
more simplistic and classy
than I find myself
maybe you were a place of dreams
that wandered too far
we are imaginations' favourite network
I miss your powerful impression
[do you know how rare it is for me to admit that?]
you stop by at times, but only quietly
we die beyond the lens
while living for what...
