Custom Drapery for your Masoleum
I stand vertical, looking down
upon thumbnails that grow,
from the tips of unteathered
wings.
Scratching my rough hewn
conscience beneath comfort.
Values dangle, with morality
like bloody hangnails across
solid wood.
Water spills from a bowl, blown
from silica glass, it turns as a
spinning globe,a vintage marble
that skittered.
The light shines onto bent words,
spoken aloud yet, never heard
The wind in her exuberant ways
carried off every apology,
sewing them into the lining
of betrayal,
Custom layered drapery for
your mausoleum
Face without its mask, high
on the ridge where forgiveness
rests on golden treachery.
Sawdust candles ignite your
sob story expanding, until
it's plump with feral voices,
blaming the circles drawn
across your heart, as you fall
then cry insubordination.
Your ladder of achievement tall
by way of cruelty it's rungs are
worn away
Terrified, fearful of annihilation
through loneliness?
You shouldn't be, she is your
queen.
Loneliness will not abandon you,
she will grab you as she did me.
She will hold you within her grip
She will not abandon you
You will feel loneliness until your
fragile confessions of injustice
shred into confetti for
your grave
