Mercurial shard

There was numbing
all consuming

it clutched like loss..


Encircled by laconism

it

reverberated within

my ears...




Words knotted
behind incarnadine lips

not fighting
to be spoken..


no affliction
just the consciousness
of something beginning

it was received with
Fervent acceptance..


There was no light

just starless obsidian

that settled heavy
upon the expanse

of oblivion.


I was nothing more than
a mercurial shard bursting
through Substratosphere..

with

no direction
no logic.





(Crash landing)




Leaky eyes flutter

his breath is
feathery against my neck

Pulse stabilized
his arm thrown
across my hip

he's
holding a shell
of someone
who was never there
to begin with..



the closer he gets
the further away I move


I'm nothing more than
a mere mercurial shard
bursting through
the substratosphere
