in our beds and graveyards by ~MisterMatchett:iconMisterMatchett:



not in the eyes, but stiffly in our
beds we weep. we’re like candy
nations or troubled bears, and we
don’t know where we can go

the moon-light gives us shadows
and the sun provides us pots and
pans, our mother fell on her knees
bent over a package of honey and
pencils for the longer days. nobody
wants to speak anymore.

if you can see me, come home or
run away or trip over a rotting log,
it’s like this: around here, we don’t
die but bloom as crazy redwoods

down the hills, up the gravestones
into chemical wishes and a fixed
image of a town. onto the rooves,
up the ladders they will never find
us and we leave no tracks, come
into the sky.

silvery light glints on fork and paper knives slow like butter smooth switch to a position more familiar on the rug, slept like dust mites dried and hanging on the fabric

Very different from most of your other work :D It's really good. The imagery and flow is perfect.

i think this is very powerful. the one thing i am unclear on is "nations our troubled bears." i just don't really get the image.
:iconbittersweet-nothings:
DAMMIT, i've used all the words i know for good already... you'll just have to stop being so talented.... either that you i'll have to get a thesaurus...
