dreamy departure, dilated aperture

relying on dusty lenses and broken film to see the light and the truth and the figure replacing my-- lover?

She is there in black and white--

feel Her breath on my neck (familiar) as i observe the white sunshine shining on Her colorless shoulders in a field of grey sunflowers

see Her smile, fleeting-- there, there, there, gone

within seconds, the world has shifted, extraterrestrial

vague recollected visions of her corpse, blood running out onto the concrete

can't remember when the world became so dull and barren of life

sterility-- a hospital (a morgue)

the delicate sunflower on the block of stone in my head, weighing down my skull

an object so lovely-- too beautiful to be real in fact

I notice a slanted cut at the base of the stem-- dead or dying

why do we like to drag the dead on leashes?

She is immortal

Her shadow is laughing--


at me?
