OysterA Poem by PerditionI watched you through the crosses of the Old failing window Yellow keys dangled from the faux of Your frost bitten hands Tiny clicks of porcelain shoe Leaving steps frozen In the freshly Fallen sky You walked the mile of deaf circles Gray fistfuls of noon Crumbling in your pocket The city mind tussling as In famish for reason She willfully absorbed you No bargain filled the sunlight No miracle stood Holding back the tremors of consequence I stared motionless Smoking away in pain All words unspoken All thoughts Calling down in wrist slit agony The color drifting from distant hills It seemed forever as I watched this The knots through my breath My lung child helplessly drowned Clawing from the sun Until in wish my mind could finally break away The last memory to A requiem The hopeless melting of a river scene Winter of winter draws all of us now It climbs and crawls like a honeysuckle It burns over the streets of your grey-feathered hair A storm cloud A bird song Prevalent over prey White fledgling winged In fierce talon warfare When I could bear no more I carved a name into the colorless glass But as swift as written It was consumed In time it will never exist at all Like a shadow that fell darkened into its own shade I watched you from your crosses in the window Yellow keys dangled and shy locks of pearl The shells of crystal trees and The morning Remembering you this way © 2015 PerditionReviews
