I’m Sorry, July
Purple ribbons
As arms I wrapped ’round lavender
I don’t know what they held hope for
Seems like they should’ve been longer
Streaming, like celebration in the July sun
As it stands, they dangle
Stunted
Too short
Apologizing, that I tied Purple ribbons
’round a fragrant bundle
Bound beauty makes me see
What you couldn’t utter
I needed you too much
I wasted your year and one half
Anemone
Be it flowers surrounding
Or the Winter’s death knell
When lush heathers and purples
Fade to sienna sand
May it be with clarity
Or with toment I cry
I want it
I want it all
Like Pink
Not running
Never ran
Every day staying and Staying and STAYING
And
I am an orchid and you know what that means
Now
From there
Join
Me
Here
Downfall
You forget the purple
You forget the soft
You forget the purple and the soft
You decide to trust
You decide to smile
You decide to trust and to smile
Eve
These are not holiday colors
Under this skin
Shocking, rising
Dissipating to fade
There are no saints to celebrate
No martyrs or departed
Save hope
To mourn
