![]() Visceral lossA Poem by Vladimir Jr
I tremble. I’m perspiring. You’ve been, you did, you were. Just now. Negatory, sir. You had been. Just then. You aren’t. No more. I can’t. Why so sudden. Where goodbyes. I crumble. A wolf fell behind. I cry. I’m angry. Negation. I hate it. I sit. I stand. I fall. I plunge. I run. I shy. I break the chair. Halt. You there? A boneyard. Stand fast. 10. 9. 8. 7. 6. 5. 4. 3. 2. 1. Dismissed.
I recollect our sand beneath the posse of stars; I tenderly jolted your corpse to reconcile. Your laid away mouth heaves our whistle no more. A glugging chrysanthemum wine limped down my throat, and I gasped for blacker kiss. A frankincense cigarette smogged my throat, and I vomited my spinal cord. Your earthless tannin jinxes my tongue. I don’t mind. Your exhumated lapse tarts my boney structures. I don’t mind. I nakedly watch our bench erode its pink paint; A volatile beauty of breakfasts and chess. I’d watched you: sprinting! joking! hugging! naked! sucking! kissing! shining! enjoying! loving! honeying! talking! cussing! living! I saw you: Eyes clouded. Pale. Suggilated. Cold. Stiffened. Putrefied. I’ll have seen you: Decomposed-Skeletonized-Fossilized. I can still smell you on my T-shirt. I miss you. Plain. Simple. © 2025 Vladimir Jr |
