Drifting away of the sunrays beneath the rivers tide.
Casting away shadows of the worm beneath the sea.

Then goes to school

What we had was a thought, a hidden moment of what could be
A possibility
I didn’t read your poem, call it deceit 
Don’t pretend

yielding shackles bound
creates unsteady ground

toxin crafts its mark
defeat painted dark

anguish, fury, sorrow, pain
