When you get too big
for your boots,
go barefoot.

Said Hamlet to Ophelia,
I'll draw a sketch of thee,
What kind of pencil shall I use?
2B or not 2B?

Eternity in an instant.
Camera flash and fading glow
Burning our eyeballs
Plastered minds have plastered smiles
Lighting up the dark night
Steamy laughs tease with vapors
In the wind
As we bundle up our jackets
Tight
An instant flash
Burning in my mind
Eternity is an instant.

abandoned car
howls mournfully to the moon
alarmed by wind

Remind me
why sharing
our pain was
too toxic
When hurting
without you
is lethal
