boast of quietness
how sweetly i'm a consolation
bursts
of merlot clouds lapping against
the stillness of
i miss you
between your tilted breasts sequins of words
in bloodletting
vials turning a slow circle of
remembrance
sunsets are long enough
for a boast of quietness i'm a consolation
in bloom
in your life
like a breeze
through semblance into dust
