Conviction

Bringing Life into Death

a royal blue
funeral pyre
of bloody earth
may have dodged
the gauntlet
but lost the game

ashen remains
evermore in
dripping
cobalt sundae
art deco style
blown glass
you floating
dust-like
consummating
this death-vase

my every gaze
a jolting
bolt searing
lightspeed
riding through
mind’s synapses
a one way

t

c
k

t

to the point of
no return

when I blinked
you were gone
flashing pupils
mine
lapping up
memories
the bittersweet
era
