red amaranth
death's hand is
shaped like a star
that's how I knew where to follow
where the river parts –
two beaten rocks
that's where I lost your path
your face was a red amaranth
this is all I remember of you
if I wither and you return
I will feed you my body
even my bones
just save my mouth for last
and my eyes
so that I may witness you
in full blossom
and whisper my hunger
to your florid face
