Free verse № 26252
it was red
I was blushing and the universe exploded
into photograms and mania, into
technically the-sky-ran-fast, always faster
I couldn't chase it down,
it was then I overlooked my ability to hear things
the volume of rain, scalding of water, but
summer came fast when it didn't have a sound
and dark vast winds were tempting me to do things,
someone dissembled my brain
I thought, like learning to love sex
in those days water and forgiveness
became one empty motion, and when
the panic came it slid off me like rain.
