Slow Poison

Absolute darkness is waiting
to meet you in my dreams
It’s the moonlight smoothing
over and over
the hollow you left behind
I negotiate with dust
in the cracks of the wall
Every grain owes me
a kiss that never came
The end of the road
is you handing me
half a cup of spring gone cold
Pain is an ember
that won’t be scattered
Flickering in my pulse
a dying light
that haunts my grave
I fold the past in half
and burn it to ash
In the embers stand
countless versions of us
waving
Only you can turn
all my sanity
into drowning
I drink you in
this slow-brewed poison
Night wind as the catalyst
my whole life as the cup
You are fresh snow
on the window pane
shattering dawn and dusk
as it melts
The forked path in my palm
winding through
half a lifetime of rings
Let me seal a pact with silence
to draw a shield
that can never be whole
Every stroke builds
a city that traps me alone
Those warm old days
curl into faded letters
Longing lingers like leftover ink
seeping back
in the dead of night
Inside my memory
I tend a spring
that will never bear fruit
Guarding the hollow trace
of wind you left behind
You are a blade
with a sweet edge
a needle driven deep
in my heart
The endless corridor
I can never walk out of
in all my life
You are the dust-covered needle
in my heartbeat
A stranded leviathan
in tattered pages of time
Let me use my remaining years
as a brush
to trace these flawed rings
Every layer carved
with a root
that never heals
When reunion becomes
nothing but folded dusk and dawn
This poison seeps into
every inch
of my left-behind soul
Here I end
I walk into
the longest endless night
Becoming your quietest
unspoken mark
No words
no trace
You are the page
forever closed in history
I am the fingerprint
dried and brittle
between its sheets
