Thosethegodswoulddestroytheyfirst Makemad

I know where you are, I simply can't find you ..... alone and together we silently sway . You sit in the lamplight in front of the embers, yesterday's answers asleep on the floor. I sweep up the fragments of years in the evening, laying them gently on top of the coals. one bright flaring moment alive in your pipils, a memory burning like dry leaves in Autumn, a smile on your face that you wore when you found me lost and alone as I am here today.
