whiskey weed blood and tears scattered across riled sheets / gentle strokes along the spine, purposed re-grounding / searching unnumbered hours my love's seas for the shore / to lose echoed focus forcing vignette, labored vision of our soar / what happened before? / with horizons varnished in fetter clouds / copper-coated men boasting before their rusting doubts / a promise it doesn't last once the worst is in the past / sorrow's hands on the lock, patient silencing / from a distance hardly seen / quiet as the rain turns to sleet
remembering more than I'd like to admit
it's not something you can choose
storm brewers find their own way through the door
how long will it be before clear skies no more refused?
with sirens wrought to tongues captive to gritted teeth / uninvited faces unkind smiling thunderously / swing chains stiffly straightened well above children's grasps / the leaves turn the other way, for this act they ask to pass
the shade won't steal our glow
only ourselves the shade follows
the shade won't steal our glow
only the shade the shade swallows
