Black Ice and Starry SkiesA Poem by pletta
.transverse, temporal fractures.
A line of lights, .sub-orbital. -with more .compound fractures. Black and white, .hyphema left. And your beautiful eyes Like mirrors, .globe rupture. One broken, one bright, Stand-off, Red, next to the white, A supernova In the streets, and in the skies. .left hemothorax. .high-speed,wind-screen, vehicle-ejection. The Milky Way silhouettes a somber collection, Cascades of, .sporadic, ventricular contractions. .cardiac arrests. And final distractions, .terminal prognosis. Trivial watchers standby As you lie on the road Two feet away and all alone In the streets and in the skies With a broken heart And fading eyes. © 2014 pletta |
