lash [for the fallen]

    I found your eyelash last night     it attacked in the shower     from my porcelain wall     to my fingertip       [hanging lightly]                                           (I knew it was yours,             mine never had this edge)          a small curve of recollection     from when water ran uphill     beat us down, made us smile                                    "I remember clutching hot skin"                                                 (echoed voices cherish the thought)                                         I am left watching the water fall     solitary as a drop                                             sliding off this fragment           passing up another moment                                       farewell with a flick of the wrist     a drop in line of sight                                     d      o       w        n the drain             [dancing madly]                                                               no more pieces left behind                                             end                                  Malakai 01.02.11
