I crept between memories
forgetting forged fights
that flickered
dimming in pictures
puking utters;
I want to go home
if the place ever exists.
Like a rocking chair
cherishing children climbing
upon laps
so the mouth unlocks
releasing over told stories
of another time
unreal, like nightmares
where I wish I was never born.
Remaining on railroads
tap toeing nails
once sweated upon
as the blood misted in the air
an old memory
where the past dwindled;
Hammering to whistles
one bitten word to another
skin shriveling in the sun,
but to a deeper meaning
of different colors
you could find him buried
beside forgotten paths.
Light a candle in her eyes
as charred letters burned again
to third degrees of lust,
marriage found needs
not kisses under the moonlight
or hearts fluttering,
but darling
he will pay the bills.
Down the street
I wave and wait
expecting heaven to call my name
before you come again
with train tickets
and my true feelings.
Swept away
cleaning your life once more
bones shatter
organs become misplaced
and blood drops like rain,
pitter-pattering like our kisses.
I’ll be waiting,
watching over you
you’ll see my essence
through the steam of travel
evaporating to the sky
where we made love
and promised,
forever.
