Drawing On Your Skies
It's not your fault
I could have been dead on arrival
but I lasted fourteen years, willing
to draw dreams like clouds on your skies.
You never felt obligated to marry my vision
to yours in this strange bedroom I've been given,
my heart monitor slowly beating. Fluids that filled my
empty veins thicken an already dark soul hiding.
It's not your fault I gave up on life before I
arrived at this emergent room for hope.
I could draw these last breaths of
dreams, carried out on gurney,
wheeled down dark halls. No,
it's not your fault
I had a fast car
that I steered into
steel buildings with windows
like a bird purposed to message.
My vision not your own, and
I trust these instruments
drain my life's blood,
words of peace
before I die.
goodbye.
