all roads lead to Heaven

"all roads lead to Heaven"

all roads lead to Heaven.

my cold feet touch

black earth. i

walk & crush flowers.

in angels' eyes i see

no hate. only holes

where memories

flow. her lips apologize

for dragging me through

last November but i

just want to drink from

her cup. no longer does

love protect me, nor release

me. i want to

cease to exist. beneath

the ivy archway i lay a hand

on her taut skin.

i am her keeper.
