Not to be reviewed

It's been years since I thought of that

Or did my mind still molding ever truly see what was?

And only a few years since I thought of that which I bury in refuse fragments and turn my back

And it was last year that I forgot again

And now its been months and I close that memory down

And last month also

And weeks can go and I don't think of that

And days when I am not here: I am not being because I am not thinking

And yesterday wasn't

And the morning hasn't happened 

And it's evening

And I see the point of my pen

And I still don't want to be

Here

For Merryn


Scream if you must
But made of dust
Whisks ways aways in mud and rust
Scream, cry
And beg and sigh
Canticle call can't call at all my
All is all but naught.
And none
But not done
Because its never done.
It's just none and none and none and none
And none and none and none and none forever
Scream
As glass shatters breaks
And makes
Nothing
It was all there on her arms
Her pain
And again and again
And again and again and again
And you did not understand why
How do you explain a hole that fills the universe?
And worse

But now we have holes in our hearts
So I scream again
In pain for one who will not feel it hurt.

There is a type of sadness

There is a type of sadness

That you hug to yourself

A worldly blue

Muting everything within
And without

And all yellow looks a saline
Salt sipping
Waters that flow through
As we drift along
Waiting for the day

When things get better

Sitting still
And seeking comfort
In the curled
And the stillness

Looking for peace

Through lack of movement

Waiting

Waiting for the day
