- A BIRTHDAY "PRESSIE" FROM KATE -
my heart thanks you
~
is it her name
you cry in
silent screams
in your lifeless dreams
her scent
that gives you flight
on crimson wings in the night
is it her laughter
that fills the bottomless hole
dug deep within your poor lost soul
her flesh
that burns now your own
through layered shreds of crystal bone
is it her soul
that wraps you gently in the bleak black blue
left behind by an anguished adieu
her spirit
that holds in love the charred remains
of life’s last embers within your veins
is it
is it hers
or
is
it
mine
