needle point
fully inserted
under ribs
embroidering
right shoulder
deep breath
threading between
searing pain
fuck
i cannot
tell a lie
this hurts
like hell
dammit
you took
the ibuprofen
when you left me
with this infection.

soft
drifting
on a breath
feather from
a bird in flight
falling
caught
in between
hands on my watch
marking the passing
blur of light
falling
meteor
zipping
between stars
catching sparkles
in our eyes
falling
hard
while
you never
even noticed
I was gone.
new day
new year
new words
old mind
running down
memory lane
poison in my cup
it burns and still
i like the iron taste
happy new year
one less left to go…
one thousand snowflakes
piling high against my door
drifting to sleep
