A hot coal burning red
sits neatly on your fleshy tongue
Kiss me
with all of your anger
...
With the sand beneath my feet
I stand
Set free
Blue skies painted red
...
If I caught you
At just the right moment
You'd be ready and waiting for me
If I could catch you
...
Footsteps fall
along the path laid out
Eyes glaze over and spirit dulled.
Walk.
...
Halo sits on your head
angel hair atop
you glow
words spill out jumbled and rushing
...
lay me down
at the foot of a tree
on cold cold earth
lay me
...
Swimming, drowning, gasping, grasping
wanting, falling into
black pools of anger, rage and hurt
push me further
...
Not who you want
Not who you see
Not how you think
I ought to be
...
In six seconds
you had said all you wanted
to say,
in one breath
...
