Summary:
If you know, you just know...

Cloud Bursting 

 

The sky skeleton 

opens her rib cage 

to cradle our skin storm, 

which now only falls as rain 

 

Sailing our ship alone 

lighthouse blinks within coffin, 

maybe you can pack a suitcase with sadness 

walk backwards down star staircases 

 

Unbuttoned and undressed 

naked as winter tombs, 

moving-on submits my mouth to braille 

reading breaths which settle under tongues  

 

One morning, 

the sky will fall seamless 

and in the silence  

everything will just be

    1. Dear R,

      “moving-on submits my mouth to braille” how familiar this feels and such a brilliant description of trying one’s best to move-on. I can really appreciate this process. It’s difficult beyond comprehension and as lonely as it can possibly feel. Hauntingly lovely piece.
