Needle
Falling through the sallow plague –
mine, all mine, the weather reminds,
left in your place, jade veins shooting through
a gold - untouchable, never invaded,
stained all the same;
an infection of kisses and petals up my arm.
The coo –
the ribbon route, floats the infant, calm –
a sway of circles,
a dawn of cradles
and where we are, sobbing;
bruised with losing all moments too soon.
But to have a point of zero,
a thought of closure – lips resigned -
a charmed taken death in the width of nothing -
and code no space to remain, no time
to take or a union,
split -
it will be complete -
a poppy stream, stroking fine
the collapse of sweet resist
and satisfy, that crave,
that god,
that -

Some cracking lines in this...an infection of kisses and petals up my arm.The coo –
the ribbon route, floats the infant, calm –
a sway of circles,
a dawn of cradles
and where we are, sobbing;
bruised with losing all moments too soon.
