Days White Lie

Days light scalds till night
burns a hole right through me
in moons gaze
I break into sparks of suns  
to become fires rage
then ash of sin
night cleaves my breath
devours whole my tongue
one step, two back, return


In the night,
I see the real
veiled by the days white lie
Joe stained smiles
sleep walks  
and talks
while feet mark time,  
to a drumless beat
