Literature Text

in the dreary briar, along western fields
our eyes beheld a bright canopy
of wild stars

and all the boroughs we imagined therein
were burning in the light--
how could they not
when everything is fire, heaving
against the black backdrop of the universe

crawling up the curled, charred paper?

and some say I am the unspoken regret
of never telling you, of always telling you

but I will sit back and watch
walls fall hungry into pastel weeps

those avocado green, leaded pools

with eyes uncovered, most afraid
but there is somewhere with a sky untouched;
somewhere no one knows the world has ended
---

a bit messy; maybe I'll fix it later. maybe I won't.
