vapour
after you leave, i spend time in mausoleums with modern lights; shrouded in fog, sequoias with open scars, daughter of ash and sea—you wreathe marigolds; sadness found you, before i could, buried your heart, you stood on the precipice, to leap, to be fossilised, to empty these bones, that path, sky-clad, naked; dying carnations bother you, with their details, an illustration of insomnia; you are the womb, black blood, your are the door, invisible bird, but you are also—this blooming lily.
