the wild abandon
a poem

the wild abandon
leaves bruises
blue roses
smiles crack like vases
on the floor of youth
abundance for wasting
we can live
in this evanescent thing
forever
heart heaves its secrets
in pauses-between
liquid courage leaving lips
expel and inhale
and then
it all goes stale
without warning
the wild abandon leaves
unexpectedly, one morning.
