Crater, 01

how much can endure when one is so unsure, if refrain is coming or going if time is right side up or forthright down, unhappiness begets a frown plays sickly trumpet sounds, simplicity is a statement like bereavement on stale bread, a stapled diet wrought fresh of deniability and tranquility, act aloof. paint the sky troubled blue swing from the trees of broken branches, lie and fall, sweep memories missed thoughts of were and were not so accurately desperate, cannot remember the taste of a single delicacy that brought a smile to the face, of blame. test me, hurt me, love me, shake me, take me, grant me, tranquility… prayers are for the weak like me, tall dark little one scarce giggled mess life rehearsing tangled dress, faults on display kerning yearning flowered drums, seeds looking upwards, damn you soiled seeds, looking for a sign of someone, to please. circles dip and weave lie dormant for you and me, blame set the flame now my name seeps in vain, rain cleanse thy grief name calling opposite truth, soul searching epiphany long handed sorrow dreams shatter, like, no tomorrow.
