Tuesday, May 6

while you are gone

my darling, I cannot
say the sun
stitches into my skin
any more than it does
to the
pale depths of a
forgotten well.

The soup at the bottom
digests itself, and soaks
all stone to wax.

I melt as a stale mess,
as a sallow sigh,

the breath the stones
lose, it rises and
rusts the Earth.
