she read like a fable
the words slipped from her skin
i scraped them off the floor
locked them within

the image dissolved on sight
her dust rode the breeze
burning the atmosphere bright
seizing the white clouds with a red dye
her feathered flakes longing to be lonely
scaring the sun from its homeless sky

i could only open myself for a bleeding
to extract her tale of pleading

"fray for me" she wrote
"pull yourself apart
float in fragments
lodge in my heart"

"pray for me" she prosed
"that twin fates divided
can somehow roam parallel
our pieces united"

everyday i sang her words to the setting sky

everyday

A very interesting piece, Ilph.
I liked it a lot.

your write is unique. I must read more of your work before providing you with any comments. Keep it up.

Very nice style, Ilph.

I particularly like the 1st verse..and the one beginning 'fray for me'
