grief is a sloppy drunk
slurred stumble leaning
into unresolved dark corners
of our lives
the moment you think
you’ve placed him down for the night
into a reasonable bed
here he comes again
breathing his sickly sweet
bourbon breath
how will i ever forget
where our statues stood
before the corrosive
passage of time
water and salt
form glacial streams
down weary faces
marking the ones who love us
this is what we began with
this is what we leave behind

carthage
the city razed
no stone left upon another
bloody rome
you have burned the heavens
to the ground
yet we are blessed with former sight
your men
plough the earth with death
salt strewn to prevent notions of green
but
you may not deny the people’s hearts
or
spring’s return
