With my words misplaced in the dirt
winter memories...

***Simply put: To my Uncle Rob***
Painting the highways of teenage ache...

And this tragedy starts
with a shattered glass heart...

Flickering devil hair
attuned to silver white wings...

So I took my own virginity,
placing burnt and blackened hands between my...

As lonely as a poet,
Without a Muse to call...

As the cardinals slit their wrists,
I inhale eulogies from every kiss...

Ashes to ashes,
frozen rose petal slashes...

In the summer shades of grief,
layed to rest like a fallen leaf...

Through the mists
through the woods...

An enchantress,
gowned in black and silky dress...

My heart's a graveyard,
cold and bitter...
