(no subject)
a silence bled into my ears
(it scabbed over and stayed
unwelcome for days)
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^squeezed summer fresh from^^^^^
the blood of
the rotten and rough
(and those who'd give their lives to be so
and the lives of those they love...)
/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/*/
it fell unflinching
and relentless upon
our faulty
shingled ceiling
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++then
my soul stretched forth
to heaven
and god sent it
silent&shaken
(accordingly)
back down to earth
(with a big ol' THUD
speckled
cement indents
scattered all along
pale freckled arms)
i etched your promises
with tried and tested tears upon
a cell
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(sea salted sadness don't fail me now)~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
of dusty drywall
(@m-m-m-m-midnight~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
it'll act as an early grave)
lou licked the blood
which missed my eardrums
but let the rest drip down my face
unlit endless
expanse spread
before spider swollen eyes
letters and pictures
not fit for book
nor frame
thrown whole upon
the fiery flame
of gran's old
chipped brick fireplace.
