deception

the words you have spoken to me in the
past
are branded on my heart,
steaming and brimming and staying

i was
reclined beneath the kindness of your
summer cherry tree. your words spilling onto
my skin the feathered petals burying my
shape in a
pink
rainstorm

until your distance became clear
you looked to someone else
did you mean to steal me?

i may travel through christmas and april
no blossom memories whisper to my world
but soon, but inevitably, one

touch of your words falls from the night and burrows into my hands where i may not forget.  and there i am after too many carefully guarded hours still trapped by the piercing heat of your shadow.
