Melted Sapphire Seeps

By Eve Messervy

You are the face I saw in rain 

So fragile; melted sapphire seeps, 

Crying gushes rivers, sleep 

Through flooded webs of long – lost lust, 

Windows healing, questions burnt 

Of widows leaving stone and dirt,

Howling prayers that wilt away and

Dissipate to nuanced day,

Another unjust pneuma utters 

Words so empty, ink that stutters,

Gutters flood from monsters grief,

They’re broken heroes 

Alone they weep, 

But we squint our eyes, 

In attempt to see, the lines of lies that 

Will make us free, rain 

That drips like melted sapphire seeps

Cold as stone; as silent as sleep

Yet all in all a stone alone 

A face that fades, a face it formed 

Through unfelt fingers and 

Eyes blurred stiff I sit by the steps

And list ‘what ifs’
