Shortcuts Through Graveyards

All those eyes

Slowly shedding their skin

Making small circles around each other’s

Substance

The look it seemingly undresses the nights

Ghosts

A blood fest of fists surrounds your head

The aroma of darkness covering my placenta dreams

An empty gun

Lays adjacent to the rooms open view

While in distracted light there appears my punch-drunk sanity

As it devours (all) the shadows

An uneven floor that injects my blood stream with dust and hollow words

Stumbling over you was the answer to my loss of hope

Like running thru graveyards and speaking in silence through tiny pinhole

Mouths and forever living and not finding what may be in stored

The afterglow of solitude

The disjointed smiles that grasps for air

Under your enormous wings of blame

My tonic suggestion to incubate my after birth words

A stillness of heart that shackles

A memory and mortar apprehension I have not escaped

In the long hallways of your past

My own blank stare dissolves in the sunlight

Then it was you

Inhabiting the smaller cracks of my skin

Taking my hurt and

Willingly

Being beautiful in the madness of blind faith

A sordid ball of ugly lights which glisten

And down the path where it leads

To me

You can place your gift to the dead crowd like

Unraveled wire touching your lips

A severed look of ignorance

Beings of soft shells

And broken by spinal cord modifications

The lustful grasp shrouding your heart

Makes its way taking shortcuts through graveyards
