Once Upon a Trusting Heart

Thunder clouds retreat
    empty of tears
    devastation finally spent.
The bloody remains of your
forgery
slipstream down the gutters.
    So clean
    I thought was your heart.
Secrets held so close
    scatter like confetti
upon an angry wind.
Sewers scream with
    your arrival.
