Atropos

It was unmeasured
Undisturbed
Murderous fare
 
You fell from black stone
a helpless attaché
 
We bled the worst together
 
I prayed
Devouring what was left of your crucifix
while you so eerily undressed
Leaving dust to weep in a frozen ballet
 
Night scraped over horror
Locked inside the glass of a broken parking meter

Cluttered utterances arrived like a tempest serpent
Belly filled to testify your fate
A lunatic of darkness  
and life forever altered
 
Though our thread swayed undisturbed
Sanity spewed oblation
Stilled
In your cold distant hands
