Kerri Shying R #594 -the perfect melon

The perfect melon

you fell and clear it comes
the fragile balance beam my ego
times the numbers in the bank equal
how much care accrues to love
that's there a given formula   how near
I come to save you you fall and lick at
wounds sing your special song

siren of the softest skin   in dirt
and blood under the porch

it isn't midnight   when the envying
of slashes   stitched     and simple
fixes wakes me and the world burns
and you're stoned
