Little seeds

That was real
bare on the bathroom floor
  These shelves
  Dis shelved
  Deceit
  Dishonest
  Destruction
  And utter despair
And we’re bare,
  vulnerable
  little vultures
A seed
A sprout
A leaf
A blossom
We were someone’s thought,
We were planned, my darling
To have been woven together
in this tapestry of life
A needle
A thread
A spool
A canvas
I pass that clock
That damned clock
In the dark hour
the slowest of torture
Outside that window
I watch the passersby below
  He takes a piss
  from the second story window
I want something
those strangers have
 
And so we grew
Blossomed, brilliant petals
  of daunting, dark
  succulent, seductive appeal
Faded quickly
Fell apart
Brittle, dry
Disintegrated to the Earth
but little seeds
did we ever sow
 
 
I look at that second story window
And I laugh, sinister
and feel a pain of empathy
for the sap who resides there now,
for I am only
but finally,
a stranger,
                 a passerby
