Alone In a Queen Sized Bed
alone in a queen sized bed
grieving can be self indulgent
partaken of in moments alone
so needy to pull you back into my life
my life
ours no longer
grieving is not wet most of the time
it is dry heaving sobs of anger and
aching skinraw untouched hours of night
crashing on consciousness unbidden
orpheus teach me
slow slips into deep seas dark as
the black side of a cold moon
light memories like phosphorescent fish
all teeth and no body dazzleblind
here is the gate to hell
god i hate you in this place
you have crushed my heart
scattered my love as carelessly
as a child's pass through dry leaves
what do i trade for you
