Broken Ballerina Dancer
Today, I am greeted by
a moss covered path, my vision
of profound joy fallen from a
neutral sky leaves me mute
Vintage film has lost its shape,
cracking like the face of love
without you.
Your delicate touch, like
fingerless wings sweeping
across my flesh, leaving tiny
bits of down as soft as powdered
talc.
Parts of me harden by the overpowering sensation I feel,
as I lose myself in the patchwork
of your fragrance.
The world, broken by fault has
placed us in a twisted box with
a crooked ballerina dancer
The music has stopped playing
it's sweet chorus of she loves
him, he loves her.
Wait in the secret compartment
at the bottom of this box empty without a navel.
Cries run between clouds that submerge themselves into
unfinished rainbows that dictate
who we must be.
They deny my claim to move
like fluid in neutral shades of
my choosing
Mountains of granite graphically crumble, as their symbols arrange themselves in the ravine where countless tears are bottled.
Quench the scorched embers of
a lovesick fruited fig dropping
her seeds of wanton love.
Sterile ground sucked dry of understanding.
Let me mother those in need,
let me father those who want,
without your sticky label of
masculine, feminine it's
residue has stained my shirt.
