Unwaking

When you quit
I will grab your smoky voice 
and embrace the cyanosis.

It was not brain insult.
The blues under the eyes 
were unintentional.

Molestation was not the choice.
Your marbled face 
becomes cold and hard.

The frozen lake.
Bring the music to break
the ice. The black sun.

Unleash the stockpile
of tears. The life has taken
an ominous turn.
