Journey through sirreal photography (Absolution)
I sit heavy because there is
an anvil chained to a twilight sky
in my stomach
a screaming dog barking the secret of
life and a gypsy using the earth like a
marble in my voice
trying to understand the shaman
sun bathing on my tongue
a gun shooting a bullet in the shape of
a woman giving birth to an army
of unicorns in my fingers
a mermaid arguing in my pen
but I remember when she used to
hold me in the thick of us our inhale
might as well have been laced with dragons breath
until she
told me she needed to get away from my gravity
after I orbited around another sun
said sometimes I feel like a black dot
on a white canvas
empty and full
all at the same time
and I asked the morning after
do you still love me
told me maybe in another life said
the pain was so deep she would
have to unzip her bones
in order to love me again
and I am here a carefully carried
heartbreak
wishing for a severed moment
when my insides touched hers
and you felt it in the middle of the night
I will speak of how I lost you
To the weight of my man and my flesh
My desires urgent back then
But now I find myself thinking of you
Unwilling to love another
The way I loved you
The way you were always meant to be
I cannot move on and these dreams
In seventh hour of the day keep showing
An image of me setting my heart on fire
And breaking my ribs to spell your name
Your name
The only one I could never forget
On table there is a ring
And my life
