Poems from awanod
Caramel-toffee mixture
Malleable
Pliant in the best sense
Putty in the worst way,
But strength...
Strength in this not quite chocolate...
My beautiful bird.
Your spirit free, your heart, a song.
I listen to it trip and tumble over melodies and scales, reaching over intervals...
As my mind spills out of my mouth,
You look at me in unimpressed silence.
I can see the heat, the storm, the violence
In your eyes.
It's...
It's not easy
Having heart attacks everyday.
The palpitations are palpable
Through this heaving chest.
This chest. This wooden trunk...
All colors fade to grey.
My heartbeats morph into throbs.
My eyes cloud and glaze over.
I watched the weather this morning.
The forecast...
