The Hurricane

Everything must stop when it rains.
A seven year-old girl cries herself to death.
The sun wont do me any good unless I face the sea.
All it does is turn me into a widow.
So let me go
Take my cap off
Make me some coffee.
Pretend this is forever.
I stay inside for this is where the sunflowers bloom.
It is a fallacy that they live for the sun.
They want to look away,
But temptation as always grabs their chins.
The wall supports the amputee,
The helpless soldier in this senseless war.
But unlike your character,
Our eyes grow old.
Cataract, inevitable.
We tried to run away.
Yet the sun is there to blind us.
Wake me up after 3.
Surprise me with a call.
I shall remember you under the trees,
I shall remember me kissing your knees.
This is forever.

I like this. The imagery is masterful, I do think. And it is somewhat ambiguous, but that doesn't make it less compelling. Well done!
