My Own
Too Many Moons
Have swept the sky clean since
I last heard your thunder
and I
ache for it like the world aches
for tender annihilation
of it's gifts
To feel your disease
plunging glass into these
cracked eyes
My open sky mouth
faulty with the taste
of destiny, curable tears
When I say your absence
is mummifying me
I am perfect
in those bandages that wrap
these words into transplants
that stitches can't
begin to maintain
What a heart i have!
Tocking and ticking
through blast after blast
the gleaming
of the barrel almost weeping
wedged tenderly to my chest
Its been to many moons
Since I vowed this abstract sunrise
the fear
it so fiercely deserves
There is no place like home
and without you behind the trigger
there is just no place
