And You Leapt! by biife: 6:02pm On Dec 17, 2007 |
AND YOU LEAPT …and you leapt into the gaze of my popped out pupils the eyeballs following you out of their sockets in that rapturous jump the leap in the floating fragile air that wafer-thin air that stood between us the aperture of my dilating widened eyes catching in still-motion your effervescence long dead in mournful wakeful moments stilled not buried by death’s infamous claws …and you leapt amidst that sandstorm of shock the cataclysmic clouds of crippledness in that change in that chain which became loose in that slave who became free those who had kept vigil while you slumbered in wakefulness those who had watched you with hopeless hopefulness those who had taunted you as the changeling that proves false the potency of the medicine-man beheld that leap in open-teeth amazement …and you leapt capturing each move with my unblinking eyes as you said with those enfeebled limbs with those dying eyes warning me till you breathe your last never again would you leave my arms you leapt into my agitated waiting arms that sepulchral flesh i stretched before you …and you leapt out of an uncertain silence into a certain cocoon of conclusiveness. |
