Sweet things remembered go

sour

in the now.

Dragging pieces from you     s l o w l y
that you once
       choked
down     somehow

Didn't they look soft
when they lit up your world?
The way their budding promises
came to your lips unfurled?

Like dandelion skeletons
                        slipping             through the wind
Sweet moments that
built you a
home

Dance
v
i o l  e
n t
in the end
