fumes and funeral flowers

'fumes and funeral flowers' 

i came here

to tell you

i’ve not much longer

left to go.

it’s been an uphill ride

on fumes and the 

heavens have dulled.

funny, we gaze

at the same sky

night after night;

you see stars shooting

while i, dying.

i guess i’m saying

i’m doing all i can

to crest this hill

plummet downward 

cry your name from my lungs

one last time.
