She Melted
She Melted

She melted like the chocolate
Left in the car
Lonely and softening
A quiet puddle
Of darkened tears
She couldn't make out
The words in that message
But they didn't last
They didn't last.
Night in the meadow
Past the rest stop
The stars recede
And the morning comes
Without promise
Broken and cotton-mouthed.
My one good eye
Keeps a watch
In its back pocket
Deep in the grey
Matter rotting
The time it takes
To sing this
Is too long.
