Life has never looked inside the hazel
of your amber eyes / it has gently placed
a thousand burning suns inside your irises
and closed them shut until you mustered
the courage to open them up / and up, up,
up life lifts you from the hem of your torn
shirt / and leaves a sweet trail of honey
dripping skin along the small of your back /
back, back, back, it retraces its steps to find
the origin / of this mesmeric evolution before
everything dissolves and fades / fades, fades,
fade like the memories you will leave behind
when you reach the corners of your grave.
