|
Destined as the servant to the night where |
|
your moon dreams of the dirt and the |
|
sharp tongue of your zealous will is only |
|
congruent with the salt in your mouth and |
|
the approaching eulogy of the world. Lost |
|
in the patterns of youth and the ghost of |
|
your aches comes back to haunt you. And |
|
the forging of change makes no difference. |
|
Memories fly through the mask of your life |
|
shielding you from time. The years that |
|
birthed the shell that you gained. Hunched |
|
over in apathetic grief with a disregard for |
|
steps except the one taken back. Perched |
|
up on a rope crafted in smoke / a sword |
|
wielding death that buried your hope. |
|
Focusing on light through the blinds. A |
|
slave to reality under a monarch in the sky. |
|
Lost in the patterns of youth where the |
|
windows shine brightly back at you. |
