I've always been exceptional
at organizing a parade like a bruise,
starting red and purple with
the broken vessels
and coming to find a yellowed
healing in the mourning
of things that have never been --
the wake of my dignity,
a funeral for your affection.

Interesting read. I had to read it a second time to read it a second and third time to fully appreciate it. :)

i agree that it's an interesting read, leaves me thinking of its true meaning, which I like.

That first line just floored me. Outstanding.
