I WAS DEAD


I was dead
               darkness shot
with pounding
               laughter.

my being
drunk
               slaughtered
                              slain
                              in the wind.

               wings
need
form
               your pulse in me
                                             in place
               of this moment
                              column of light
                              in the eye
                              ghosts
               displace you.

                              stones
               throw
                              sounds
waiting to be broken
                              in lovers' hearts
               indifferent world
               turned to bliss
               your own imagining
