Tears Slowfall


tears slowfall
prosaic place of exhaustion
melancholic moments
drip down deep

momentary absence
eternal gone
notes slow scrawl
to the page

prozac love
kills appetite
dulls desire
brightens smile
an impotent hero

sleeve squeezed
overflow of feel
fount like fall
trees topped with rage

radio echoes
slow motion swirl
breath jagged
I drop to bruised knees

soiled ground
too thin to live life fully
unable to suck marrow
Thoreau pretense zero

hallowed sin
eyes blank and blew I float
twisting gently in space
pupils too wide for light
