Heart, Broken

I am Temporal
Converging on this space
Then dissipating.

My Heart
Drives me onward

You are Place.
Fragile.

I press myself to your chest

Your tiny heart
Beating like
the wings of a bird

Lower.

You taste like a peach

And I hear the Mermaids sing
each to each


And Now We Are Free
And all I see

Is something
I want.
to Kill.


I catch

The unnumbered sparks
that fly upward

And hold them in my hand
like fireflies

Until their light fades
and their bodies still.


Their souls
like the wings of a bird
escape this world

Moving upward
And Chaos
And Erebus

Into the dark winged night

I say goodbye.
to Father.

I say goodbye.
to home.

I say goodbye.
To loveless hope.

And hopeless love.


I hold onto you still.

In my dreams.
Fleeting.
Haunted


For you are Living through me.

Like an avenging angel
that turns itself into a sun

You whisper light
and warm

The unending cold of space
which calls me


And then falls away
into a circle

That I now
no longer

belong.

A tree girdled by a heart
cut with an arrow

Falling

If a man says something in the woods
and no woman is there to hear him.

Is he still wrong?
