Refusing the End.

cocoon quiet
white moth wings
in beaten ears
to muffle cotton words

blue eyes flutter
beneath their lids
laughing at invisible
soundless jokes

depth perception
impeccably late
with swollen thoughts
and powdered air

closed up shop
blinds fall still
enveloped musings
and whisper wings

all this happens
in the midst of goodbye
my mind retreats
and you're still here.
