MY FRIEND
My Friend
At the bleeding edge of forever lies my friend
my never to be touched end recedes you see
and sends its music through the smoking sky
that filters the sun and blurs the lines I wore
and swore by: to be dressed, and caressed. Loveless
darlings left to perish ere they cherish, gone
into black gowns in towns where loveliness
is bereft of breath, carceral, the strange bend
in its finger winks to flirt, come here, wash
me in your eyes, kiss me, take me when you leave.
WOW, Jon!
“come here, wash
me in your eyes, kiss me, take me when you leave.”
Thank you, Emily!
