contusion


bruised fruit
broken hour
the petals wilt and fall
from the flower

magnolia white
lead me down tonight
the stars will sparkle
glittering light

bruised flower
melting sun
fall to rest in my arms
lead me down to sleep

a small sleep,
deep in stone,
silent, dark,
alone


from 1997, with some editing
