Manic

I have a black God
who, at times, leads me lost
without tether, without reason
without return.
The summoning,
comes from an empty place
of dark pools
in which no light can escape.
Where silken glass shards,
lay scattered down below;
the remnants of a shattered heart
like forgotten confetti
once adorned,
in dark ceremony –
the very making
of this tragedy.

A mattress on the floor –
I lay on my side
and stare at the wall.

You forget. Then you wake.
Another crushing heart break.

When she dies
They’ll eat her eyes.

Bare –
There’s no baby in there.

She’s a hollow girl –
filled only by the night
and that one fight
where he tells his wife.

I’ll carry it for you –
hold it steady, however heavy
crushed underfoot
The flowers spring back
toward the sun
in the warming light.
