Turning

by attheharbour

They’re putting bread on string Out of reach of anything Chandeliers in a Salt mine Turning wine into whine into figments of what was mine What was ours in the bastions of love Which left us behind in the pushes and the shoves Oblivion to oblivion in Lunar zodiac years Turning tears to tears in barrels full of fear Precious be thy emptiness in lost & broken trust But our broken alloy hearts will likely never rust Held to account in dingy basement dwellings Turning your cells into cells when it’s more than salts you’re smelling Hearts become holograms, there’s interference in the tube amps Our bodies become vehicles and this locus is the on-ramp Desire lines in darkness punctuate the screaming night Turning wander to wonder far from halcyon light
