cobalt

By Corinthian

cobalt

my
Lord
I wear your name scratched
in the wet of my unmarried throat

without  baby


bless my
warm oval

mother
skull
bowed
on skinned knees

fearblessed and prayed for

watching you hang on wood until
you die +












VIXI






with infant fist loosened from fingertips







 I.have lived.









































..
.


exploded
windshield
ruined
by death .

shut out of the light sky


stay



stay
my treasure


I am surrounded by myself I am glass .

    Beautiful. Simply beautiful. I read this and feel as though the narrator is forsaken in someway, be it in the biblical sense presented here, or in a meaning that goes deep beyond that.

  • A former member wrote: This is beautiful and extremely secretive . I wish that I could find a book written about you . So that I may learn about your life . I'm sure It would be blue . I miss seeing you around here too.. I hope you are well .

  • A former member wrote: .....what can I even say after this ? You really do have a beautiful imagination , other worldly . Such a sad piece of your heart lays open and exposed . I truly think you must be an angel and I hope someday you will feel an ease , this weight is so heavy . beautiful as always Cor . Cobalt blue ....

    ...you place your poem on a ledge, I don't have the strength to climb to it, but I come anyway, to feel the grip of what light falls on me...
