Scarlet shoe.

You run through

unseen lanes

of

my mind

trampled nettles

wild primroses

why

back so

soon?


I taste you

still from

before

on my lips

in my

throat

like

a cough.


Time’s blowing

through the

tree tops

as I search the

sky -

you in

some other

country


I’m

laying on

damp grass

observing

my loss

in winter’s

other

sky

so cold-

so empty

That aura of

youth

dancing in

auburn hair

now lies

a

single scarlet

stiletto

dismembered

in a

ditch.
