i rain forgetfulness

pour myself down in rivers of crimson despair

 
~~~


i rain forgetfulness
pour
myself
down
in rivers of crimson despair
and currents hurtful and dark

i rain
on all bitter yesterdays
when
my orphaned fingers
ached with yearning
white
untouched
when i
braided stars in my hair
for you
darkened
my nipples with cinnamon

i pour down
on all yesterdays
when my
clad in lilac blossoms
body
trembled with memories
of all the caresses
you haven't yet given me

i
rain
on all my crucified reveries
written in pencil
on pages yellow with pain
where
my love for you withers
unwanted
