The Dark of You

There is pain tonight inside the dark of you churning rivers breathless rage lungs full of rock swelling into laces of light sharpest flowers floating to bottomless dream sinking soft and terrible petals under water quickness hot in the throat Beyond the sun in the thickened heat where once we were alive poems burn in vistas blossoms of fire as a wave might in daylight break radiant to earth shattering delicate as a bullet only to descend upon the heavy heart in schism doom in the fragile air she hits like the ocean sea torn into anarchy inside the dark …of you
