Futility

Futility

open your eyes
open them
I demand it

words shot
across sacred boundaries
aim for the heart, 
the living zone
to take it down, 
you down
into my ache

tears
useless
coruscating
acidangry drops
squeezed out 
between fired lashes
hot, burning
across cheeks
create deep channels
of frustration, pain.

Feels like amber fiery pains starting with the heart then rising to the head. The brain and emotions trying to made it through. Making this one a fav. Great Job! Patricia ---James
