where the wild flowers grow

How am I to stop this conflict of words?
The wretchedness of each vowel,
avalanche of sound..
Each placed figuratively into my mind as if
I were at battle with myself.

I did not cry for you today but,
I wept the day before..

..when the rain advanced upon me,
as if I were an enemy.


I once felt a touch in the night,
a soliloquy of bare fingers,
a collision into my skin.
And I beseeched you, to cure me of this ache,
this unknown embrace..

..yet you haven't shown.

I am left without defense, nor armor,
except that of which I owned before.

I did not cry for you today, or your words
made of solid bullet molding.

And I will weep for you no more.

I've thought that a few times.....once I was even right! I hope you are this time. It's a good feeling, when you can make it stick.

I could have written this of myself..and of perhaps another type of struggle... but I could never have written it as you did..

thank you for this... I rarely keep things, but this... this dear one.. is mine.
