the sparrow's wings
memories are
widows tears
cleaving the
night,
a katana of
grief
the heart is stoned
to death by bricks
of loneliness
bittersweet rides
on the panthers
tongue of
regret
the pornography
of remembrance
this
rain
this
pain
this
disdain
dissatifaction
grows like
black mold
on the face
of hope
the wings of
the sparrow
broken
the fires
die
down
to damp
ash
the taste of
everything
goes black
and white
sleep is a
short,
kind
death
keeping one's
head screwed
on tight to a
swivel
bridge's yet to
be built,
burned
close your
eyes
make a
wish
fall into
the
cold,
dark
water

Oh, this gripped me tight for multiple reads.... so much despair! The short lines make it read like plodding through a difficult day. Beautiful work.

Sometimes... when I'm reading superb writing, the kind that metaphorically slaps me across the face, oozing relatable kinship with my own similarly private (and often shameful) thoughts, I do a little fist pump in the air, ✊🏻 celebrating the fact that there's absolute beauty to regale in pain and sorrow but more selfishly, that I'm not flying solo with these thoughts of mine that can end up leaving me cold and hollow.....
Thank you, for (unknowingly) keeping me company and for being as tremendously talented as you are, bk...
A truly SPECTACULAR write, dear poetess 🙏
🌹 - 💙
(ps - i was being cheeky, btw... there is no other who writes the way you do, affecting me and that sears so so deep.... I mean, "black mold on the face of hope" ?!?...yeah... 'nuff said.)
