Quill & Moon
The quill dried, waiting
Thirsting for the crimson ink
To slake its hollow shaft
A reservoir for my worry
The moon wept, lingering
Hiding behind the clouds
After hanging in the night sky
A quiet listener to my story
I broke a promise, ignoring
Their offer to balm
My decaying corpse
Perishing within walls slowly
Into quietus.
Thirsting for the crimson ink
To slake its hollow shaft
A reservoir for my worry
The moon wept, lingering
Hiding behind the clouds
After hanging in the night sky
A quiet listener to my story
I broke a promise, ignoring
Their offer to balm
My decaying corpse
Perishing within walls slowly
Into quietus.
