Rapture / Erasure*
*delete as appropriate
there is no mathematical resolve in the simplicity of this equation fractal edges fray when i tell you this marriage is over it is over scraping bronchial sediment from my lung spitting crimson reprimands once unfurled they uncage themselves and release a stream of violent gestures i did not mean it to be this way reaching into oblivion death lurks by the side of the road dressed up with nowhere to go and i succumb to sunlight Daedalus watches longingly i wish i could abandon this world tie wings to an embryo and escape into eschaton carry her across salt paths take hold of me deep under a reticent sky pouring down acidic bubbles i swell into erasure



Intense. I sure hope this isn’t a confessional poem. If it is, my heart goes out to you. either way it’s darn good writing.
