I wrote a note for her in

French once;

For the girl, I loved at

the time-

Written to say my

goodbyes.

Though, she never left, just

read it over n over and

fell asleep on a strangers sheets;

Left me all alone.

Alone and alive.

Breathing at the pace of anguish,

before n afterness;


I've not written a farewell since...

Drowning--

He choked on the water,

bubbles

that slipped between the teeth

and boiled the

surface of the shoreline-

Sinking

to settle at the bottom and

age along with the coral.

Leather skin decay until

it pops.

Fizzle smoke-and-mirror trick

until nothing but the

skeleton remains--

Where deep sea creatures make

their homes from the phalanges,

cupped in a silent

beckoning over

broken ribs.
