funeral rain

tonight we wake for the hummingbird’s fluttering wings

a soft buzz swish like the weeping

of the broken vase dusty dreams of crystalline filth

stroke the pieces they are black and dead

like the man in the limousine

will you take your bloodied shards

will you hide them by his burning grave

play the sky music play the melody

by the blue rose in his eye

write about mermaids like the haunted girl

she had no voice why

didn’t she talk
