1.
the last decade
has dirtied dishonesty
conspiring with the wrong secrets

selling cirrhosis
decades too soon
in bright neon lights
that ignore the best billboards

the ones smuggled out in the seconds
dripping through the rivets  

they are the better friends
lying like love does
unaware that they are untrue



2.
born on the last of October
my years are recounted by fireside
while La Luna illuminates the still

this year I am younger than the last
and healthier than most

promises have been kept
that were long thought dead


3.
the apocalypse happened
and matured
despite the marble
that infects age

the apocalypse has fashioned furniture
from stone

the apocalypse is a new father
never more protective
over its reproduction
