this burning wound

Jon Nakapalau

cut with rusty decades 

amber sun whittled down
into slices of bitterness 

astuteness dulled by summer whispers
you kissed into me

till cadence of blood
could only run in your mending

where shall i find that balm
that will cool the festering shadow

of lost years that were never were.
