Doublr-Face

Falsehood masks your brittle pride
from sight, distant yet once
 the dust is settled anew
 upon your shoes and empty heart, 
as sunset bleeds away to follow me,
 you will wonder if
the crimson streaks
 across the sky are mine
and those black intentions
grip a male's vein to hemorrhage
on your double-face.
