Poem: Aria Of Was

 

Aria Of Was

 

fiery palms 

clasp through long goodbyes,

failures to exit which cling 

with the audacity of a tomb.

 

i will not kiss again,

no chisel can extend the was of my lips.

no pyramid of joys to reclimb.

sometimes my face, even so, 

chances to reform on a sweep of wind.

 

like the passion of rain, 

which strums ocean’s blue breadth, 

gone-in drops of phrase,

so i played the fields of love,

heaving for a while. 

 

but it was a music of solos.

and the ocean, in the end, stands alone.

hearts in gone storms

cannot cure what caskets store

in their cold breasts.
