The last morning, the first morning

light touches the sky
glow
I dreamt the City burned like a star
shattered towers, ashen, fallen,
against the bright yellow sky
flying
the sentinel planes like vultures
midnight steel against the sodium light glow
(like all the lamplights in the world
had been melted and smeared
across the sky like a crayon)
The sky ran like—mercury
tinged gold
the inside of an eye with light shining in it
without the stain of flowing blood
The sky flowed like a swollen river
gold fire
And that was that
another year spent dreaming
maybe you die every time you close your eyes
are born every time you wake
and the world ended in a dream
I am left with only the flickering stars

May has always been fraught with false promise

dreams of love
fire, hope
endings
Conceived in the cradle of springs
Grown gravid then stillborn come cold winter
And STILL I wish.
