whispers doubt &
memory these
pushnail hands to
rust on through &
twistgrind bone to
raindrop splash
my naked face
who cares for
tonight tonight
when something
rests between
fold & trench
forgotten in
butterfly dream?
there is no love
betangled of song
only—

Great poem, Michael.
Thanks again, Chris. Which truth shall we explore tonight? 😉
Ha! Exactly!
