away

for ragged gestures
i lay my body down
floor bound
and find my bones, cascade
though my heart
it's too fast to the beating
i am still vying for the sound
but wait, dear
you are yet a ghostly fade
a wondrous sort of disappearing
to evaporate
and pale
and now my hair, chopped-away
it's left ruffled
in an empty roomed cage
so behold, trespassers,
my bed, an earthly unmade..
