Goodbye - My Turn for the Veil

Trying to Swallow the Ripple

Grim rainbow you stole in a breath

a line of hung poets

dancing in the violent wind

open windows attend

words,

Meaningless absurds

later today i will strangle imagination away

sat at last on the bed

tears collected in the plastic bag

now memories self crucify

wrecked as they sail these lips

today was the day

the time you went away

decisions laid as the path

who dug the earth

who asked its name

i scratch my face to hide where it's going

Alone on nights throne

we whisper, to the disbelief

they hang upon our neck

jagged pointed the bones i collect

never said goodbye though my voice bled dry

little cold eyes

where is your surprise

Where is your surprise
