I can't remember not falling
Swirling lights waver magnificently
Enticing thoughts into a fine mosaic
That you and I no longer hear
Yet, my ears strain for
That ticklish melody
Who held sunrises and sunflowers
in time capsules of devious accord
Drawn by its wolfish howls
And dangerous tenacity
Oh, how painless it was
to slip on that second skin
Though, its removal was
far from godly
and no stranger to malice
unmasked the anguished well-wisher
As onus pined for its keeper
While doubt feathered the weary
Laying its soft touches
on bruised shoulders
That lost the will to carry the weight
of your unknowns.
