On The Edge Under The Full Moon
When they saw
her stand on the
edge under the
full moon, they
ran over to stop
her but she jumped
anyway.

Little Linda
No one knew
so no one came.
Someone left flowers on her grave.
She died
how she lived,
in secret.

Dead of Winter
In
the dead of night
in
the dead of winter
I
see above me
a
dead raven hanging
from
a dead tree.
I
watch dead feathers
fall
from dead bones
like
dead leaves
off
dead branches.
As
night sounds die
a
down blanket conceals
my
snow covered body.

My Eyes Upon Her
My eyes upon her
beautiful, breathless silence.
Whilst she sleeps forever,
I whisper to her in prayer.
Hoping she'll come back,
I know that'll never be.
I consider setting foot
into the grave to find her.

For some fool idea of love
You scrawled your name
on the paper wall of death
to sleep when the pen falls
but what about me
you dumb bastard
What about life?

Loss
My ear upon her chest, I listened
to the rhythmic beauty of tickled heartstrings.
My ear upon her casket lid, I listen
for the ghostly beacon of her soul.
