death in love

"death in love" --a little Vday nugget.

make war 
on you
*
crumple your brittle
flesh to
rose petals
*
whisper light
into
the wild sea
of your hair
*
trace the line
of your neck
to know
where
*
list gently
with the tides
of the wide
blue diamonds
in you
*
living
in these
vapid bones
*
murdered down
the paths
of every day
*
sinners
come one
to this chapel
*

come all
to the shadows
of great oaks
*
measure
your
madness
*
against us
cut the
sharp edges
*
milkweed
sunscape
sky
*
the
impossibility
of you
