it's burning down
all of it
isn't it
no no no you can't read the fire
or curse it out
blowing out the world's candles
that lit the hidden
showed what sat in front of squeezed-tight lips and eyes
idiots all of them never learning that the end is never
will this all end in clever back and forths empty
or will we move God ****** from that master past
tearing us afar
pearl-filled hearts begging for for forgiveness
in the lacey sweetness of Valentine cards
weeping for their skin
collecting tears in water-bottles
plastic spittoons holding forever
held back words that rot teeth and livers
a cold shiver in the leaving of the light
