In octu oculi
Dodano: 6 LUTEGO 2015
"Mother, if you really want to know,
Yes. I wanted to die for her.
I wanted to lay down
in the middle of
Springfield Avenue
and die for her.
She is the death I don't like
talking about.
The one that I survived.
The one that I came crawling
out of, fingernails bent back.
The one that bagged my groceries
and didn't look at me
the right way.
I play shadow puppets with her memory;
drink champagne until
I'm tender.
Mother, her
absence was the most
beautiful thing I've ever
suffered for,
ache like a
purple gown that trailed
behind me when I walked.
I was glowing, mother.
I was the most elegant
loneliness, the most exquisite
creature among all of the
unloved."
