Approaching End Stage
By Brokenwords
Mellifluously she burns through my veins, like euphoric memories but twice
as deadly, Beautifully walking barefoot through my cognitive graveyard.
The tau tangles, like tunnels over run with with poorly written blurts
of profanity; a bus slowly drives by, she was dressed in golden amber...
where was I, oh yes, it was early September. Even the pavement was crumbling
from the nueronic misfire raging in her eyes. It was like ice cream melting
in her tears as she rubbed the galaxy of memories that she kept hidden
in her pocket, like some lucky stone she’d carried around for years.
Thoughts distorted like tapping poetry on a mirror as it shatters. She’s
everywhere, like dark prisms of fingers running through my atrophied grey,
but I still recall that day in mid May. I still remember it like it was
yesterday. She made me feel like writing poetry beneath a shade tree...
who are you again? Let me tell you a story about the day I met her; a bus
flew by, she was dressed in tie dye ...I’ll never forget that night in
late July
