she came to me as blood and fluid tides and sleep i caught her eyes saucerwide as she turned into the sky she bit her lips and stared sullenly into the bleached silence her fingernails slowly brushing the snow from her hair my flight from your face must finally destroy me i had always hoped this world could be complete for me the earth around is fresh with rain the insect world is silent the red flower ascends the woman is a like a child i will open up the windows now and look down on the lapis lazuli swell that will sweep all of this away
