First Snow

Hambre del Alma
They cut into me again last night
Taking out another piece of jumbled flesh
Rewiring my hardware
And I feel less of a person today,
pressing down on scar tissue
Sometimes it feels like a knot or
like a tiny creature nested and invading me
Anyway I want to get in the car and go
Get down on my knees in front of the woman who's
heart I broke first
I want to show you what I've done to myself
and believe it will be enough to
cure this disease between us
Either way I am very tired
and waiting for first snow
I will finish the job then
My gift to you.

...and he asked her, "do you write poetry? Because I feel as if I am the ink that flows from your quill."
"No", she replied, "but I have experienced it. "

I agree nightlight! I love Life's poetry! Her poetry is so delicate, but infused with such power!
