Eulogy: On Our Urgent Plane

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

I do not want to watch you sink,
Into the waters, unknown, of my callous breach
Quiet with silent screams, dying, to my dismay,
From an invalid love not allowed, not foreseen, to be
What it is, what it was, on our urgent plane.

Crying with dry tears to toss you a lifesaver
Made of stone, droning in my own blind suicide,
Pitiable as the first crash into the equation
Sup the already festering variable of this varying
Decay, declining the patter on our urgent plane.

And it was, the divine childhood you evoked in me,
The scent of fresh apple cores, sitting on rolling hills
Until my sight met yours, then all is changed
Into the plunging grasp of passion, so tightly wound
Around the wound of yesterdays on our urgent plane.

Till tomorrow, I shan't forget the ardent simplicity
Of a devotion dreamed, and then dreaded,
Wasted away in the untimely cave of a second's indecision
But depth, and all depth, remains in the string that binds
To your agony and mine on our urgent plane.
