Pleas and Poison

Who takes the last breath in the summer sun?
I'll die in autumn disaster smiling for the purity I've seen

Sullen sun rain on me
A fleeing soul into the dark and deep

Sleep
No thought
No Touch
No words


Kisses never here
Smile forgotten

Make me stone when i am dead
Take away my name

Tell god i've been shamed since Cesarean escape....
...I didn't know what I was getting into.....

I'll take my last look when the summer comes

Such a deep sense of longing and sadness in this write, Kalonji. Clever reference to the "Cesarean escape." Surely, babes who come into this world never know what awaits them in the future. Great work! Love, Carolyn
