STAIN

Let the rain wash away
the iron stain of DNA
laid so neatly beneath our feet.

Mouths gape open at the sky
Tears flow free from glazed-over eyes
Tread lightly, my dreams died there.

Every moment
I shrink a little more
wash it all away
the erosion of the core.
time disintegrates,
the wind blows the rest away
from that little place
where it all died that day.

Capitulation no heart will find,
the terms now given from the mind:
Cease all beating, no love will grow there.

The shadow's shape keeps taunting me
remnants of hope that used to be
imprisoned in there are broken pieces of me.

Every moment
I shrink a little more
wash it all away
the erosion of the core
time disintegrates
the wind blows the rest away
from that little place
where it all died that day.
