where the wild flowers grow

Note: This poem is dedicated to Raph, Gem, Wind, and Mike. I miss you all!

The sky has gone mad,
with clouds enraged,
the sun speaks to my skin,
what do I feel
..all that I've erased from
my memory, all that's been forgotten,
the heartbeat lacks in existence.

I've been saving
the smoke we shared
in my lungs,
the burning reminder
of why I can't exhale.

These tears I am grateful,
to shed for you,
the liquid sky cruising
down my cheek...If you
could only
see me now..naming
the gods..

..and if I could recall
the first words I'd spoken,
I'd wish I could've
changed them.

If it were known
that there would be no
tomorrow, surely,
I'd regret
everything
I shouldn't have said.

I take back nothing,
keep my heart,
let me cup
my mortality
in my hands..
