lit cherry
shes written enough bullshit
to wear phonetic burdens
as simulation for personal armageddon
but it's all meaningless
meaningless attempts at rehabilitation
and I miss her reflection
pulling me under her second moon
mildewed on a photograph
she's a sanguine disposition
bound by earthen sorrow
don't mourn young one
the frost wind shall still whisk back your hair
with baited sighs
and tired moans
she whispered muliebrity in soliloquy
and I'd believe her
if she didn't weep the words
behind a jaded smile
she's utterly fevered and distant
like a lit cherrys quarantine
crystalline jailers serenade
about a weeks wasted breathe
and an empty carton of cigarettes
but it's time to leave that madness behind
poised in smoke and mercury
for now

Yeah I go through about five cigs every time I get really into writing something. I'm glad it's enjoyed.

The thing is about obtuse hyper realism, like someone like Chuck Close, you get this insight that being seen acting normal is not so sane after all....we just get used to it and take it for granted.

The second stanza is the one that hit the hardest with me. I felt like I was drowning in an abyss of emotion.

"mildewed on a photograph",
"behind a jaded smile",
"poised in smoke and mercury
for now",
what a way to end stanzas!
