4:32

By Corinthian

Uncorseted.

with only a golden locket
of baby
fluff and ribbon
tied around my throat
+

painful skull
and soft mouth

on white
pillows
crossing
my palm
with
the
water
of birth

unpetal me

when
your
breathing
awakes

dripping
through
the very
wound of christ
&
films of
light
puffs of blue

on lips & hands

unthink
these things
in my
sleepless
lash

I am
uncomforted
below showers
of Hail.

no words
no words.

+
In this
house of
wood and
shade
I
wander for
too long
+


hear this tinkling song

Dark sanctuary, grant me the secrets she left behind. ... i wish i would have known you long enough to know the secret of 4:32. Each song you give, even now, as the cello echoes with her voice...each song i search for that moment of which you speak. Is it a passage from some tome of sorrow to which you were maiden protector? The song, like this song you've written, is forlorn. i feel it is this work here which speaks the most of your sorrow. That birth which never could be. The death where life should have come. You splintered there. You never could return to blue for the blue of that face. Oh, Sister, i weep with you this day. That echo you left behind, the almost~silent moan you chirped before eternal slumber...it comes now from my mouth. The music goes on. Life goes on and you'll not know how beautiful it could be. Return as some new form. We'll meet again under a better Moone.
