Deliquescence


The truth hits her

this nightfall time

hands in pockets

She see its mouth saying words that

film directors

understand

the love story

in kindred heads the one that hurts

as blind dunces

miss what they miss

her pre/tensions

locking her voice stop time racing

to the goodbyes

the blur of eyes

as she travels

home bitter home her pretentions

to routine means

when shocks come

statutes fade out

statues shift in distrust is stone

about herself

an architect

understands

when she wants to pre-tense her soul

to strengthen it

give it a chance

to be ready

She is ready this dusk wins her

the red light speaks

the world feels wise

and caffeine soaked

her heart floats in new solutions

It is melting

open-handed

and she can see

solids mopping up free moistures

the ground is dry

She wants to grasp

the blushing sky

by all its hands and say thankyou
