Goodbye
You fed me bitter candy
That surfed between my teeth
I let its knife shred my tongue
Cold blood filled my shell
You glided away, swaying, graceful
Against the windless summer noon
With my eyes trailing your shadow
Your voice a magnet in my iron head
How could your feathery nails
Strike deep like a poisoned dagger?
And your hair of carnival nights
Smother me like a heavy dusty blanket?
With burnt shirt and tired shoes
I stand still, staring, looking
For your elusive face, longing
For a drop of your clearing rain
