Pieces of You
The cruel face
of the moon
stares down
a bloody wound
in infinite sky
I empty my pockets
of grief and the burden
of shared stories to strain
moments from forever
Friendship is savage
karma, a mutual
oblivion. Alone
I cannot remain
the same person
Guilt is the chain
I fasten
to your body
so that I too
may drown
In the icy dark
of these woods
each new sacrifice
spreads branches
against the light
I tremble
float above the grave
trees. I was blind
No one ever survives
loss

The secret of poetry is cruelty.--Jon Anderson
