A finished memory
Caught in stirring unbelief
Across the lavender horizon
Grey fingers claw
In the gutter where I’m who I pretend to be
Lie awake waiting, bleeding out the last
Fix the master heavy sleep
In a room with no lights
Under curtains kisses pour
Alien to remorse
Wounded lives like scattered ashes
Lifeless naked framed forgetting
Beneath their onyx surface
this inborn tempest rages on
Flexing dark and hateful
Nothing looks the same
Fading flesh grow colder
Towards the scarred actors end
Living of polluted water
”Just like the photographs”
Morphine colored clouds gather
Around a dying dawn
Gone
My garden is gone
My old garden with the cherry tree
The first
It was the first ghost
The first wind that blew through the flowers
Perished down by the railroad
Longing for the rare summer rain
Shattering clouds of lonesomeness
This one thing I found to tame my heart
I remember everything
My early years and their graves
Waxing, waning, blossoms wilting
Taste these dreams without sugar
No, the wild can but wander
Silver pavements in the rain
Out of breath a thousand miles
The Nameless angel does not remain
Whatever I thought saw there
Whatever I thought was here
Whatever I thought saw there
Like the garden is now gone
