The Dark of You
There is pain tonight
inside the dark
of you
churning rivers breathless rage
into lungs full of rock
swelling
into laces of light
sharpest flowers
floating to bottomless dream
sinking soft and terrible
petals under water
quickness hot in the throat
Beyond the sun
in the thickened heat
where once we were alive
poems burn in vistas
blossoms of fire
as a wave might in daylight break
radiant to earth
shattering
delicate as a bullet
only to descend upon
the heavy heart in schism
doom in the fragile air
she hits like the ocean
sea torn into anarchy
inside the dark
…of you
