embalmed in stubborn sacrifice
of the dreams you never live and
the life that you refuse to dream,
you are grieving for the otherside
of love and the songs are sticking
in closed throat, broken echoes
retching golden shards that pierce
your starless death-wrapped skin.

unwilling to remove a bitter mask
you crushed the lights fantastic,
fearful that their glow, spilling close
to ever-winter heart, would ask you
to reject the husk of darkness that
has mummified your dead-eye soul.
