to the man i once loved: a poetry

Somethin

Somethin'
××

and i was loved and moved and dared
          by love for love--be loved to love--

i was transcended to write 'bout pain--
mimick the ink of blood and bloated pen
                         hey, my reader--my darlin'
              dare to hear the words of pain--

                          and please comfort me--
                                       by saying it loud
        and love me by reading with heart--

              for this--these--in which i wrote--
                 written with--and read in part
        turned and flipped: the page of art
              power-lived to heal, Dead heart.
