5348 Lava's time

My chest has burst with grief.

I feel as if all the lapilli and lahar 
Have passed through 
The skin of my heart.

There was a turning point in my life 
When your river of lava 
Meandered down my slopes.

The whole lament 
Hung around my neck, 
Like a knot around my throat, 
A millstone that weighed down 
My steps.

My universes curved. 
An era of sadness began.

My mirrors stopped reflecting, 
Once and for all, 
That chorus of archangels, 
The sound of trumpets, 
The fluttering of white doves.

Like Lot's wife 
Who looks back, 
I got lost searching between your eyes 
And your smiles for love.

Now that I review my life, 
My heart sinks 
In my chest.

Without you, 
I'm on a downward flow 
Toward pain.
