down

[hollowlies]

I'm losing it-falling apart-it's happening again and I have to know better-it's time to jump ship, maybe it's been time, maybe I should have done it months and months ago-where is that hardened voice inside of me, I know it exists-I know it's within me, but I think I'm cracking.

if you go
in june
will they bring
poppies and blossoms
to the head of a stone rose?

if you wait
until october,
will they come
with the wilting treefingers
to litter along the streets?

once,
i found a hyacinth
floating in a pond
spun by the dripping eaves
of the silver dawn,
where there is nothing left to hold
(or hate)
but fishscales.

but
if your wingspan
never finds its terminal
&
if summer leaves
autumn too late,
will you be falling
(or flying)?

tomorrow was a bed
made by their mourning;
i
could not catch me
(on a brokenwing.)

i'm jumping the 'quit-yer-meds-cold' chasm for the lucky #3 attempt.
