Annihilate

Nightgown

Dreading all kinds of sounds -

The most dismaying are the ones that may never come.

Outside the sky is salmon pink.

If you are coming

Don't think of changing -

I want you steady;

I want you same evermore.

October or not

Bring me freshly fallen leaves,

Cast them off by the doorstep

So I can bring their hushing in.

I am scared I will never spend a moon

Without my gown,

Give up my bred shyness

To the dawn.

Oh, too late - I already died under the cherry tree!

Wistful welcome has perished,

You did not see those clouds soft at all

Because I never took it off.

Colorless blood is watering my wrists -

Fully dead but they still regret not being kissed.
