Fallen Silk

Fallen silk

drifts

slowly

to the floor

with each breath

a little bit more

of her fear

slips away

a puddle of blue lay

at her feet

with a sigh

she accepts her fate

as she walks into the arms

she knows

will forever protect

& keep her safe

Not Out of Time (with audio)

“I’m fine,” she smiled, as her heart bled blood red. “It’s ok, really,” she said.
“You go on now. Go on your way.
I’ll still breathe.
I’ll still eat & drink.
I’ll remember to brush my teeth.
I’ll still make silly little rhymes in my head.
I’ll talk to people as though
I’m really alive… not dead.

I’ll nod & blink, staring into their cold eyes

pretending I’m listening as their lips move glistening,
spewing hate-filled gossip & arsenic laced observations
about their deranged relations.

I’ll blow a strand of hair up in the air as they rattle on about this & that
and giving tit for tat.

I’ll giggle, just a little, imagining their greedy, needy mouths are fat moth wings
flapping wildly in a hot wind, connected to red moth bodies smeared all over the windshield
of a Camaro going 110.

Final Destination

~

She kneels in trust

with gracious adoration

waiting for strong hands

to release her fears

He is

her

final destination
