  • shards, iii

    Like red hot iron, this is best swallowed whole:

    these obsidian blades
    of semicolon days
    where minutes languid
    drag, reeking of
    sour sweat & saudade

    scant souls slendering
    silent tombstones
    sighing under
    a sickle moon

  • we are

    we put on the happy mask
      -- we are not happy
    we put on the charm
      -- we are no prince charming
    we sell dreams in plastic
      -- we are just hollow inside

    hey sing me sad sad songs 
    and i'll remember my place
    just send me a kiss when
    you lay me down forehead
    sweat in fever remember
    recall...
