desire

beat, one-two rhythm

forty five degrees of hope

wishing for another day

charred roses smear and driftaway

are you ever going to come to come for me?

watch the sky leak silver tears

horizons bold, my dreams are clear

azurein words and ink across the burning page

could i be, properly

would that you, hear my screams

over broken record streams

palms alight in raw red streaks

snow laced memories in photographs

hiding in the bottom drawer

divining through the tainted glass

serene death in the frame of door

that i could be loved

ha’penny for your thoughts?

beat, one-two rhythm

can you feel my heart’s last

beat?
