"Tomato Field" - by Ryan Schellenberg

Her smooth creamy skin
had a heartbeat all its own
and was not confined to her person
it seemed;
Her glowing light was shared with
the air, the land;
and all that she touched
seemed to exist in the climax of infinite;
It lived for that tactile reality
breathing one perfect breath
and never ever again
after her presence was felt
could it feel anything at all;
I wish her soul had never ventured across the void
to lightly graze my eyes
leaving an impression
of beauty
and the sting of a mortal wound;
now the powers that exist
have pulled me to a different plane
hundreds of miles from that year
and unnumbered classrooms between;
I eat, sleep, breathe
with the constant pang of a dead grey fetus
suspended in my abdomen
clawing at my sanity
and reminding me of all the things
I will never regain
