He howls at the peak

suddle creak around

to greet a wandering

lost soul. 

Chattering his fangs

at the volley

brushing the ends 

of his claws against

the tips of his mane. 

He’ll call

but no one answers

only runs.

Breaking colors over

unenforced lines

to mimic.

Cracked teeth

spilled peaches

spoiled truth.

Tracked knights tales

beat down reality

now

drawing in the lines.

Strangle your hold against

me

cut the ropes

and set me free.

Two more cities

in two nights

dial tone

on repeat.

Home a foreign

wasteland

perfume and your

pillow are over seas.

`

Demanding a match

to bring the rain

tonight.

The forest to regrow

over packed mall

parking lots.

The time to tick

backwards

into a sun-dial.

The pendant she

lost

over the melting pot.

I lay awake

wondering

why you put down

our candle.

It burned the brightest.

Planes would fly

low

to greet us.

Even as the candle

flickered

you held it close.

The smoke from the snuff

fills my lungs with questions

left unanswered and

a hazardous

cough.

 

Stop your crying baby

it’s just a sign,

a sign to put down the screen

run for the keys

get away.

We knew

when we started

this place

will be our ruin.

Running from

the bullets, will

we ever

learn?

We got to

get away.

Musics got me feeling so free

waving goodbye to yesterdays

beats.

Free keys and

free strings and

sing free.

Bleeding round trip in

spontaneous darkness.

Tragedy doesn’t strike

two nights in a row.

Loves finger tips dances

on the hair of my

bruised thighs.

Or was it loss.

The bulb flickers

passionately before

my pupils roll back.

 

Seeking the sea king for

scalding redemption.

Shaking off thee

shattered glass

and watching the 

remaining shards

meet the Earth. 

The mirror doesn’t

show my reflection 

like it used too.
