What Might They Find There

What Might They Find There
Obsidian suctions lost withered time Through sugar-sweet veins thick-coated in grime; Guitars strummed by orphans accompany space Wrapped ‘round bloody throats choked in lavender lace; Visceral heat-waves escape frozen eyes Peering directly at sun-thirsty skies; Questions are whispered in tossed away silence Where hatred and anger form an alliance; Steps trip while walking through this cruel black hole, Steer clear, I beg you, my baritone soul. 9/18/2016
