Day’s End

I’m April rain and sunburst July

nightmare October’s duress;

sparring ages in grey-eyed September

Tropics.

Caught monarchs of her love

as they migrated city pastures

caught pappus, cherry blossoms, primeval

winds.

Blue haze pierced hazel pupils

monstrous daylight consumes after

anemic thunderstorms, gluttonous star

eater

Inhale gusts and mild cloud’s saliva

exchange healing hatreds

topple distant forests, end doomed

days.

Assist my horrors expansion

czar valentine, comrade cupid

sickle my closing aperture

soon

Cudgel nights remorse

force all I feel to manifest

not from a page or a drink

But from me.

"Sparring ages" refers to my birthday which lands in September.

"Caught pappus, cherry blossoms" are a call back to my pieces Dandelion and An Hour Ago both describing the fleeing nature of love.

"as they migrated city pastures" a barely passable reference to Straight From The Devil's Mouth city of Historia.
