Have done, my heart,
have done, the fierce lament

of roses howling
in their silvery shrouds,

a caterwaul carved in black clay, a kiss
dying on the lips,

and this pale death
that has always been, mine

to bind the shiny white glyphs of July
over the amber silk of eyes,

crouched inward and perched
upon your wrist, heavy

how heavy your hand and heavy
bends the gentle head, hooded

all its anguish stilled
by this one mortal wound,

bound in the ardor of roses,
its claws close, perilous

on your wrist, the hours
we forget in the wet

dream-gardens that are kept
wreathed with Valentine arcs

of bleeding hearts, ashen
upon our sleeves,

between us a darkness
vanishes, easy and often,

as each breath, deep breath,
dream is but a membrane

fused to the depth of motion,
perched perilously upon your wrist.

I'm pretty much voiceless these days anyhow, but "have done, my heart"

four words that floored me, m

I think mine's done too.

A pleasure to read you as always.  Oh my, my!

between us a darkness
vanishes, easy and often,

as each breath, deep breath,
dream is but a membrane

fused to the depth of motion,
perched perilously upon your wrist.

I don't comment much ....

      forbid me to be silent
