Sunburst; love not feared a heavier smile
Sunburst; love not feared a heavier smile
as you pulled death from your arms
and flung down by mortician anglicans
laughing at the house of harm
Your face grew bold and mighty eye'd
when you shook deaths grip but now
You were more woman than I have ever seen
I stand here, missing somehow.
Fake your wisdom and brighten your chest
on the keys that lock your wounds
Write me, "dear johns" and making
my existence acompanying these moons
My contempt refused to buy it
A love I wont forget no doubt
You were more woman than I have ever seen
I stand here, missing somehow.
Married kids wearing daddy hats
stern, loud, lost and weak
cynical lies upon their santa laps
feeling vertigo, as they weep
At the choices they made for drinking
a wine that bittered blood; anger from lid to brow
You were more woman than I have ever seen
I stand here, missing somehow.
Pain, not pride shelved your love
cooling the passion with a freeze
You cursed God's test and brilliantly bent,
not yet broken down on your knees
White flags fell flamed beneath your chin; welcoming euology
narrowing doors that burst at the seams; the light shone you tall and proud
You were more woman than I have ever seen
I stand here, missing somehow.

You did it. You beat cancer.
With my love,
