sorry


for what he's done....


he's


apologetic, but the moon


she's crumbled in my palms and drenched


in my tears.


I rub my hands across my jeans and shoot stars across my ripped up, tarnished wardrobe


maybe he'll witness me before he closes his eyes


maybe he'll blind himself with tears...

Knights-errant spirit; symmetrical mirrors reflecting such hues amid these

Revolving spectrums crossed....

Softly sounded on Ludwig’s piano keys;

In my imaginary mind?
We roll through the wake of the water,
Goddammitting our way through.
