All at once
with her mind’s eye
she sees
through
resounding light,
her whole life.
Every breath,
each beat of her
heart.
The what ifs
and the should
have beens
d
i
s

in a farewell kiss.
For finally
she has learned
to live
most
intentionally,
most
unapologetically,
here
and
now.
.
.
.
I can taste your colours
they’re melting on my tongue
as I melt into you
.
.
.
the feelings are gone
but you still come to me
in my dreams
.
.
.
the universe
all of your humanness
in a gasp
…
a dusting of nothingness
.
.
.
her lips
once pumped with colour
fade away
.
.
.
nothing left now
just the cold hard truth
you didn’t come for me-
-I didn’t come for you.
a
temper
can only
mask so much
heartbreak
. . .
