Bigot Again

Yet again, she turns
Her back.
And the thousand 
Poems you didn't write,
Find all possibilities
To happily rot.

But life goes on 
You know.

The many sunsets,
And winters.
The yellow stripped
Off the flowers,
And the fragrance.

You try to clutch 
Your chances.
But you find no anchor 
Whatsoever.

And the pyres in
Your chest,
Many funerals in
Your head and
A fancy for looking 
At the ships that 
Capsize, growing 
Into a happy fetish-

You thought you'd 
Find peace when
The last known place 
Of nostalgia would be
Razed to dust.

But an apocalypse
Has always been 
The start of a new 
Religion and you're
Condemned to a 
Bigot of love again.
