As I pluck up flowers

As spider crawl the dew
Bled the summer curtains
Blown open to greet the sun
A blossom of nature 
Cringing the violence 
While awakening; Yet
It screams through hallowed 
Angels, trimming the horizon
Tied in nooses bound in threes
Cross-stitching the moon
Who grumpy as bread
Dreams in sallow-faced hills
Seeping into our tears
Trickling down the river of broken dreams
As I pluck up flowers
They melt into warm palms
Which I cup to water heads
That I feed to you
SO those haunts will cease
But I have them too
I cuddle them into sweating sheets
Nestled in a calm
To hibernate til I see my stars
Unpainted; untainted
To clasp them to my heart of souls
I wish and ponder in these climes
To dispel this afternoon
Is my sole task
Hold me in the grief that
Surrounds the ages
