A Death in Belgium
I’m hoping someone is there to water, Before the leaves fall off The flowers strange and fragile Like your hands and heart.
All these thoughts, seep in like steel rain Running down a mountain side. Down your face, makeup mudded with black
Soaking into skin Into the ground, rain tears Drip down through the cracks Twisted like road maps of memories Kissing the seeds on the inside
Sprouting Calla Lilies on a hillside Somewhere growing Twisted with loose white pedals Like a man wrapped in a bed sheet Softly sleeping in the sun. Dreaming, always Of his beautiful daughter.
