428

In due time it all made sense

Every daybreak

heart ache

every scrape along

ribbed cages

lost in days

faint lines

jumping alive

bidding humanity

within my swollen veins

at last molten guilted

gourds

burned holes

right down to my gut

I drowned in the apocalypse

of your return.

I've cut oceans into

skies and waved good byes

more often than I've said hello

but there was always good reason

and for that

I waited long

catching clarity

in murky ripples

unable to see myself

the bloody rage and seething pain

every subtle inkling felt in my chest

gazing out into the abyss

seedling wishes made on dying flowers, drowning in lovers

the quiet wonder

two souls asunder

falling like lightning

waiting for something else ....

I felt the thunder when you walked in to my life, scattered future in your eyes

and suddenly it all made sense.
