Fighting Back Tears
Aggravating over
Breathing...
Try to learn to live
After you
Torched our
Fervent burning...
...The virgin
Seed
Of comeback
Gleams!...
Thankfully those
Silver clouds
Disguise the
Trials
One must face...
Aggravating over
Breathing!...
...Fixing body,
Mind, and
Place
To comply
To her hot pit...
Where fragile
Thread
Slips in the
Needle...
...Catching traces
Where we knit...
...Bleed out
On
The full moon's
Belly...
Aggravating over
Breathing...
...Where am I
To put this surplus
Of jelly
That once composed
A beating
Heart?...
...Winter cracks
Her scathing whip,
Rouses my husk
To hitch a ride
On a hari-kari
Rocket, to
The reviled
Other side...
...If there ever
Was a time for
Siren
Prophets
To draw near
And offer me
Deliverance
From the
Ache left
In my mirror...
Aggravating over
Breathing!...
...Sweating over
Each loose breath...
In this place of
Dead Tomorrows,
I must tally
Up what's left,
And strike out
For naked harbors
With a smile, and
Little else...
Through these
Lost eyes
I'll be haunted
By your features
For a span...
...Gone are days
Where I could
Handle
Each of your fickle,
Wet demands...
