Crossroads (Rosey and Onyx)

[flint pumice]

TW:// ||mention of death||

the fleur
of the pavement
glistens

when memories
pass down my
ancestry ~

tumbling
stones atop
totem poles
buried beneath
frozen inuksuk,

it's so very easy
to lose your way
in the chords
the roadmaps
want to lead me ~

serenade the
grass blades;
and the popped
dots of colour
which makes you
worth it - -

crossroads ~

and the love
in mixed-seed
fingertips...

you were always
so sage - green

different from
onyx portrayals
and crimson
rusted glances,

maps describe
in low-light
the stars
to home ~

burying a box
below the
intersection
of my choices
and their
consequences...

-:-

violet skies
and the paper
in boxes –

glistened
and glittered,
to mildew
on the soil

alikeness,
you’re the
lookalike-

in puddles-
in stems,
to the teardrop
on faces

at my funeral ~

i stood at the back,
two to the left
and shrouded
in invisibility
because all the focus
was on the closed casket
and your voice cracking
over a eulogy you spent
all of ten minutes writing...

this is the closest
we've been in
so many years - -

repeat until death

until my eyes are closed
and yours are wet ~

Always a great poem when I see Rosey and Onyx
