callous waters, banished from the shores that bleed the black and the grey. they adorn her with garments from the edges of the earth. burning buildings, golden fires obfuscating pages of sky. as the smoke grows, the wind would take our tattered bones to sea. and her visage, it tears asunder on the rocks and stones. broken down and reticent. chasing dreams with medicine. she buries blades of passion. remedial cuts, cathartic scars. a visceral fear of the ocean's wrath.
3.
awoken in pines. a forest to the other side. fog gently shrouds her eyes. tendrils of ivy, grasp at her body. life's formless creations burning bright. run screaming through the brambles to the stars. run screaming through the heavens and the trees. a haunted moon, strung up above the drunken woods. an ancient haven for a white lace sky. brick and mortar, can't help but falter. the world is too quiet without her breath. a disparity in earth's tractate. frozen firth, a hymn endures. a ritual to consecrate, fields and fawns and misted moor.
4.
a din of celebration pervades the air, but I am unaware. back turned to the waterfront, voices floating all around. free of mind, free of flight. lost in a thought I know that she wrote. a drink in hand, gazing upwards. she descends starborn from the edge. 'stay black, endless night,' she whispers. turning an embrace to open lilting stars. I'm wrapped in envy of all that eclipses. she disappears into the sky. I'm emptied. 'stay black, endless night,' I thought, as I drifted off.
