as we fall

eclipse

dance with me under the
spitting sun while the moon is
just beginning to hit the swaying
treetops and our lives are
coming to an end
for the day

we are brighter than the shining
sun;
the sweat beading on your face
reflects the deep pools of my shock-blue eyes

until our sun is blotted out
by the endless mass of lies
and hatred
you so easily spin
from your loom
of fuchsia lips
that turn red
with the staining petals
of the bleeding-heart flowers you so
carelessly rip off
with your perfectly even
teeth

the sun is almost gone now
but we mustn't look up,
darling,
for we haven't any sunglasses
and it hurts, oh, how it hurts
my shock-blue eyes.

dedicated to daddy. i love you.
