Death Takes a Flower
By: Richard Davidson on 1/9/2005; 1:31 AM











growing blooming, blooming growing
lying sweating in the bed
field on fire
warm desire
laughter tears all crusty drying on my head
digging stopping, stopping digging
silence over in the park
time unfolding
hands are holding
memory stains all happy living in the dark
crying singing, singing crying
order leaving freedom bare
children lying
fresh meat frying
mindless motion churning leaving no one there

Question... are the memory stains living happily? or is memory staining happy living? I need to understand.

You were right the first time. Of course you understand. How dare you get coy with me after all this time!

(: Richard, how can I understand you, if I don't even quite get me? Don't be so presumptuous. Jeez.

Correction: You understand me. You will never understand you. The day you do, you will run out of things to write about. Me? I'm easy to understand. Too much of everything there was never enough of has led me to a life that has too much of what it doesn't have.

How hard is that?
