Saṃsāra
the crushing happened instantly
down she went
flattened like pizza dough
a ball of potential
breath stolen
vacuumed away
blown to bits
across the street
down the hill
she flew
erratically
flittered
sputtered
hacked and coughed
you
up
wounded bundled
shivering
aching bones
fevered
moans
on your deathbed
she stayed
too many years
rosy cheeks pinched her face
words unsaid hung
rotted meat
butcher's maze
buzzing stinging salty
loss
these are the times we learn the most
kicked in the gut
illusions delusions
melting ice cream
in the dirt
a re-birth delayed
finally
came the time
dig a hole
deep as she could
open exhale red-hot lungs
hurt-ness
spit
muddy grave
luscious woman
bountiful beauty
silent descent
deeper than you
dared
to
dive
down she went
flattened like pizza dough
a ball of potential
breath stolen
vacuumed away
blown to bits
across the street
down the hill
she flew
erratically
flittered
sputtered
hacked and coughed
you
up
wounded bundled
shivering
aching bones
fevered
moans
on your deathbed
she stayed
too many years
rosy cheeks pinched her face
words unsaid hung
rotted meat
butcher's maze
buzzing stinging salty
loss
these are the times we learn the most
kicked in the gut
illusions delusions
melting ice cream
in the dirt
a re-birth delayed
finally
came the time
dig a hole
deep as she could
open exhale red-hot lungs
hurt-ness
spit
muddy grave
luscious woman
bountiful beauty
silent descent
deeper than you
dared
