He Is Fastened Poem by GORDON GILHULY

He Is Fastened

Rating: ★5.0


the future postponed

by an eternal present:

your leaving lives on



the anesthetizing jar

the callous cruelty of loss



he is fastened to

the pain: pinned to the mounting

board of this parting



abandoned, searching for the

last beat of his own lost heart
