Poem: June lullaby
Your eyes started to sink
Melt into the sky
And I could feel my heart
Contract and deflate
In one single rhythm
I’ve become your divine
Your little trinket, your device
Would you feed on my bare ribs straight
Out of my chest
My blessing to you
I bow down and say
Any piece of me is forever occupied
Maybe that’s all there is to this life
I think that I have finally tasted it all
If you could give me one last breath
I’ll save it for myself
Like a blanket
I’ll cover you
I’ll hide you from vapid, rapid snowstorms
Give you rain boots for muddy water
Comfort you, always
Forget you, never
Let my love be just one of the multitude of things you know about this world
June is the month
Of strawberries
Baby’s first words
Holding you tight
One last breath
To keep for myself
I’ll save it until I most need it, which right now isn’t the right time
When I next see you
Because, I will see you
If Heaven still owes me that grace
In return for the ones sent there that knew me well
I’ll keep you
For myself
Feed on your rib cage
Trace your little steps
June was so cruel to me
