Finer than water
Ocean eyes
Pearl teeth
White smile
To the girl with the golden stringed heart,
Stitched up in patches
Triumph of the trident
Which tips over—gliding
Gone fast
Gone forever
And the emptiness is agonizing
It hurts them
How he disappears so quickly
And leaves all with untold stories
Stories without him
It's unbearable, but easily forgotten in
The world of so many…
People like us die everyday
Good people
Bad people
Perhaps their youth
Now, leave
For his death admits a start
A start that begins and ends with silence
Close your eyes, and pretend
Pretend that the sky is tainted blue rather than the smoke
Smoked sky with glittering ash
Beautiful
Look up at that sky
It's filled with tearing eyes
They burst with golden edges
And startles the sea with its reflection
Sift through the clouds with uncertainty
Make it so you're distracted
And then close your eyes so you cannot see it
For
It begins:
With a pound
Then soundless explosions
Then Death
Then me
And believe me
Oh, believe me:
You don't want to meet me.
