Voice vibrations Keep them together fasten/
transcending trends fashion/wear on you ever lasting birthday suit/
if the boot fits suit yourself Cinderella/
if you lose it
the truth reflects in the mirror/
full of suspense save the dramatics/
chasing after the light a foreshadow/
all the hype ain't write anticlimactic/
ring around the Rosie/
plagued million ways to die hyperbole?/
a watershed moment
pivotal talk is affordable/
But those that inscribe
the inside of ones mind/
from pictures form designs which illicit and describe/
can alter mankind/
priceless

The hills peek
Their heads out above
Still clear waters,
Tombstones tall and
Tremendous enough
To stand for the loss
Of five whole towns

Beneath the calm lies
Rusted railroads,
Crumbling foundations,
Fading blueprints of a
History long forgotten

It’s quiet on the Quabbin,
Silent front and stark divide,
Monument in mourning
Flooded, forlorn, fated
To be forgotten

Your body is as dark as the night
and I love it

if only I could slip
into your shadow

when the lights expire

my breaths
wouldn’t feel like flames

blossoming in my chest
