I sit in the heart of some mason's guitar As defined by echoes as by design. Books and scampering eyes are scanned like stars From telescope glasses in silent time. I see crystal girls sit across from me With their obsidian hair, silver oars Of light sinking like oblivion keys Through tremulous tartarus. Strands force My eyes like gravity, yet can't compel Me enough to pull questions from these lips. Do eyelids talk, to tell more than words tell? I feel them, as the moon feels tides and rips. But I do as usualβ¦
Later I batter my head against a lamppost To expel fearful demons from this host.
Much like news articles, this poem is loosely inspired by a true story.
