Smoldering Embers
By Magdalena
*
Emotion
like a shift in wind direction
a silent flutter
through the layers of pain
dancing
on the smoldering embers
amongst a bed of ashes
petulant upon my frayed edges
here
on the rocks
our time has landed
slick as I slip losing my grasp
becoming lax
in my effort to even try
morning
leaves nicotine prints
on disappearing aromas
attempting to impersonate
my sorrow
the sun dazzling my eyes
mocking me
In strict silence
I strip the order of woe
scorn it with my mind blade
in stealthy determination
surreptitiously
I cut it out
a mob of sparrows
perch in my view
cheery
in there distracting hearty troll
as if paradise
is halfway across
my bleeding heart
extortion fresh
in the palm of my hands
luminosity fading
fast from my space
I bury my face
in my bedraggle pillow
where fresh tears play out a story
