Deserted
in slight--- it came in the night,
right when the stars began to fight.
divided by default, the throat
(deep cut) tongue & cords
tangled, caught. the clouds
withered & wept, distraught;
the debt of consciousness
taut, holding sight hostage.
a mirage pulled, coerced, whisper:
'come hither' ------ what force.
deserted eyes (surprise); found
in a caress with carnage,
sprawled over the earths edge.
