I bloom darkly at your words.

Such nice things you have

on your tongue, silver and

gold that sink like liquid into the

mouths of my hungry children–

these thoughts are my children,

you see, the flesh has all but

abandoned me for better coasts

and cleaner air and heavier gravity–

but in this holy space of darkness,

petals like forgiveness float in the

breezes of memory where we walked

slowly together after a sad day

and searched all night for your fear.
