anamnesis
Barbed scathing stings
dissolution reaped -
serrating
souls
now a sum of lost
and dispassionate indifference.
The harness
withers with disease,
lodged between the head and heart.
Throat tight
disquieted bearing
down through empty arms
at once stunned with
covenants
of remembrance.
The breath inside my fumbling
frame of soul and
flesh draws air,
enraptured by the scent
and burning of your skin
where it lingers to consume
its own rebirth.
