Brutalities gape.
Impervious memories
yearn dryly, tall boughs.

Deception, numbly
surrounds her sobbing vignette.
Overcoats dancing.

Answers embracing
“forever” – it’s just a word,
brusquely indiscreet.

Panoramas drown
out the aimless wandering;
imprisonment blooms.

Powerless and chaste.
Faintly, a dream untwists in
bleak resurrection.
