into my bones

Fog an Erebian curtain...

After a fall on a slippery floor,
With the back hitting against the footsteps

Sidestepping the shadows and agony
 
A trance spelled vision offered
 
What body-broken progressions lost:
 
A miniature emblem in the holographic light

replies to grief that prowls the mews
A deep green blue of wailing skies
