LIMITED SIGHT

Strange flowers bloom



in this fierce summer of


glittering translucent spots.


Their petals fall fast as if


they had forgotten how


to blossom into hope.


Everything is silence: waters


are still, soils are barren,


the sun crushes the leaves.


Life can’t enter and even


the moon doesn’t swim


in him anymore.


When she was in him, he had


a soul but the barriers cross


the fiery sky, embraces his


strictured heart, tame the


clouds.


He limited his sight of the


horizon, he fractured the universe


with his partial love as she


danced before dawn while


her force was killing her.


Strange flowers bloom in this


fierce summer and all she


can see is darkness in


freedom’s open mouth.

  1. This is a woman scorned, by a lover who has limited her, and she has felt the death a 1,000 times over... for life seems dead to her, and so does the new found freedom of being single.
