home
back
today i drown
that famous mission-status check,
you know the one that goes, "if you are
still breathing then you haven't finished yet"

circling like
a broken promise, echoed words
fall cold upon harsh winter underworld
and i cry to cold, "you call this breathing?"

fallen leaves again
fill up my yard and I think that
maybe i should sweep them up but i
know that i will not, since i am one of them,

curled up inside
a world of empty, trapped in brittle
form i feel too much, passion carving pain
in broken veins, aching breath a cruel cut-throat
ghost of bliss that fell apart when your heart-beat burst.
