an aching breaking heart – mine
remembers four extinguished breaths.

Infinite pitch black void zoomed,
I vacillated then pitched headlong
(head and knobby knees, over heels)
where skeletons in shuttered closets roomed,

Tired of day's hectic job,
I went to sleep in a bed,
Adorned by embroidery,
On white linen,

his crown of ebony...
