Dim to the Background

Like an afterthought scribbled in the margins,
I sit on the fringe 
- my feet dangling 
above the concrete abyss

My Darkness
slips through me
Fluttering out of 
my wounds
and my words
left
unspoken.

As clear as 
the late June,
velvety auburn 
skies

The memories.
Our 
Memories.

So vivid
and yet
fading

Drift slowly
down
like snow
into the pitch
hell
before me.  

Twould be
so easy to reach out
To catch them
one by one
and then
sort them 
one by one
into the holed-pockets
in my mind
and yet
I am paralyzed

The monsters in my mind
have cornered me
-Their knives
in my back.
-Their fingers
sink into my skin,
nails peeling 
my layers. 

Lifelessly,
my muted eyes
gaze beyond the black
expanding before me
to the vacant sky that looms
above.

This canyon of despair
cradling me
as I dissolve 
like sand poured
into an 
open palm
-back into 
myself. 

My memories.
Our
Memories.

Dim to the background.

Unity

 Each  and every  day we grow older Our wrinkles grow deeper Our hair thins greys and falls out Each  and every  day We grow My heart aches ...
