Colors Redefined

love in a time of zombies

I can’t live…

 

Without her is a feather; across clothed skin.

Without her is a rose; without a bee.

Without her is a meadow; after dusk.

 

Why didn’t she notice the empty Main Street?

Why didn’t she heed the radio warnings?

Why didn’t she remain in my arms?

 

She stands before me

With faraway eyes,

Lips curled under,

Blood down to her thighs.

 

With each step she stumbles.

Why must she torture me so?

I step to meet her,

It’s my time to go.

 

Her teeth seek flesh,

I don’t resist.

Blood throbs from my neck,

Our breath mingles,

Like lovers.

 

Dark--It--Becomes.

The pain subsides,

Calm.

 

My eyes open.

She’s seated before me,

Tranquil.

 

I look about,

Colors redefined.

Blood now blue/green,

Grass now red wine.

 

I pluck a violet dandelion,

Hand it to my forever lover,

As a bee hums by…
