Fourteen Days Of June

aDarkerMind

as much myself these fourteen days of June

sun-dial and moth in a bucket full of worms

we kissed as insects dragging tails to the polished room.

old ornaments of velvet bees with bullets in their guts

stampeding left through the marrow of a heart

king and cockroach wrapped in Sexton's skin.

one flower each for the birds who cannot sing.

each day you feed the world I cannot breathe

through buttons of my scalp from a kittens womb

as bored as love as I on a pheasants wing.

our early days of Dickens when chivalry passed away

in debt of tunes from marching bands of hearsays' told you so

where blows a wind the ragged people go.

'til death we part as strangers in our dust-bowl of delight

no less myself these fourteen days of June

sleeping with the dead in my polished room

too soon it came and went; too soon;

    My heart be with you in these days of june, June a very hard month for me too. Absolutely painful I felt all your emotions and the depth of each tear dear Melvin. 🌹

    Tremendous choice of language and imagery.

    The first of yours I have read, I am so pleased to have stopped by.

    one flower each for the birds who cannot sing

    Anniversaries can be so painful. I felt the depth of that pain in the wonderful choice of language and poetic expression. The finest poetry.
