Last night I
Slept walk
(Always in halves)
I fell from your eyes
And broke
Against the world –
Shattered to
Scattered through
My pieces

It’s only eye blinks
That gage the years –
In-between backward screams,
The ones you’d send yourself
If you could -
How familiar
The sound
Of becoming incomplete
can be

When I see you
it seems like
Life times
since I was in control –
when porcelain was white
and diamonds were symbolic,
when I stood from the ground
and in the best of light

Instead
My heart is a museum
Full of Frozen Images
Roped off and glassed out –
And the only light is
Showcasing
Our history

And
If you stand back
at just the right angle
You can see
Who I used to be
