it is your softness that kills us the tender of this morning
makes you wonder doesn’t it the poet’s silence
the rain twisting our insides summer dawn
a casual replay of the cosmos on our death beds
to dust all the worlds we’ve seen and known and lived
as i peek from under the skin of the landscape
this frail flesh: a haiku of sorts
walk into the night holding a shard of glass crimson at its tip
the silence of shadows still dreaming at sunrise
