  harbinger of crude ills & broken fixations, harbinger of illicit circumstance & indoctrinated pleas, what is a goodbye but a split / brutalized / gutted pomegranate hidden under open sky? mensajero de mi alma, i can trace Blaschko's Lines across his hands but never be home for the baby's breath held in the palm of his hands. chiffon, lace, velvet, tulle, silk permeates rigor mortis suffocating her body & dreaming he will hold her for eternity makes my bones ache heavier than the anchor stagnant in rogue waves. riparian i imagine you, harbinger, presagio, mi último refugio, combing my hair as you tell me to let go of spider webbed memories & coastal dreams dashed in waters gone gray.
           harbinger, come!
     harbinger, stay!
          harbinger, how has heartbreak made me forget       there will be other days?
     i don't want him to hold me anymore, don't need him to hold my tears in the lake of his  mouth, don't need pulverized & smeared pomegranate seeds staining my mouth "goodbye never gone through." but does that mean acknowledging he will hold another? mensajero de la luna, why won't love be a bounty as undiscovered as the sea?
                     corazón salvaje, corazón humano, messanger of time 
         harbinger of entrails & crusted blood
              harbinger of desecration in
                  a lover's saintly mouth
                               harbinger
     what is Love but a confection eaten too early / enjoyed too late / under an ordinary sky of twinkling starlight?

         harbinger?  -     O, harbinger!
                            tell him i'm ready to let go

                                Fin.
