chronochromata

empty places blare at me the way your absence does

eyes drawn to every where you are not
every day is a revolution around
the hole where you used to be

leaving me where sand met water
and the world rocked aqua for a second
everywhere heavy with the tint of blue

i want this, or the outline at least

an aspect of breakage

there she was -
screaming silently all her facets
worthy, each in its distraction of description

but the worlds overwhelmed me

that happened a long time ago
and there's a more accurate way of putting it:
the knowledge of the words overwhelmed me

in their absence, experienced previously
i found nothing to fear
and only a room which housed hunger

as inevitably hunger housed me

boom

humbled, red knots tighten
in the interstice between time
tissue ready to disentegrate or explode
tangled in blood the beat goes on

heavy lifting machines of love and time

anyway you want

and miles to go
and endless seconds

it's nice to have you to talk to

you

flush with supernova urgency
dispatch me, dissolute
to struggle with facets
of glittered gifts given

quantum emotional acrobatics

the amount is irrelevant
your love expands to fit
the distance from you to me
and the time taken to cross it

sky grey morning

buried in halcyon blankets of suburban morning
i turn until i'm tied up in the beginning of the day
