Helios of Pain by Jeff Flesch

birds fly through the sky

as in my heart our love always resides

flittering

and mistaking a beat or two

for a remedy made of oranges that are blue

in an afternoon of love-making

combined with two souls partaking

in each other, hand in hand

and as I gasp, before the rendering is complete

a task comes true

and

as I transfix my gaze in a helios of pain

I remember the love of yours that always comes through

to me, from you
