She came to me as blood and fluid

Tides and sleep

I caught her eyes saucerwide

As she turned into the sky

She bit her lips

And stared sullenly into the bleached silence

Her fingernails slowly brushing

The snow from her hair

My flight from your face

Must finally destroy me

I had always hoped

This world could be complete for me

The earth around is fresh with rain

The insect world is silent

The red flower ascends

The woman is a like a child

I will open up the windows now

And look down

On the lapis lazuli swell

That will sweep all of this away



The red hawthorn tree

Appears at my window
