birth
sweet baby
scented skull cradled
starfish hand raised wonderstruck
toward skies shining infinite potential
boy meets girl sensuous ruby pomegranate
flowing luscious juices beloveds throat wordless longing
nights velvet heart spurring passionate intent divine promise
warfare deployment boy leaves girl incandescent skies searing heat
girl paces bedroom pathways clean with neglect from lovers footsteps
warriors fight lone mountain passes invaders fall slashed burned
ancient well water drawn from stone hearted earth
wash blooded rubble from childs stilled limbs
acid tears blooming roses beloveds face
once cradled skull bone origami flower
breath exhales softly once gone
lifeless hand falling
sacrificed boy
