Gone Missing

Gone Missing

It’s not the needle

that does the damage,

the pain

is just a symptom

of her problem.

The realization of life,

“she,” could have had it all.

If not for that

certain little something,

rattling around her head

like a broken walnut.

It is what she doesn’t want to believe,

but knows.

The truth.

Bleeding out life

into snapdragons

and dandelions.

Sitting in the dirt

with the plunger down.

All the way.

oh the fluid lady sucks all hope into the body plastic even as it gives false heaven to the streaming blood in clots of beautiful agony~
vivid~mesmerizing~ desperately painful to bear witness to such heartbreaking fall presented in such a stunning beautiful vein~
