The world ended last night. I’m sure it did. And while I squeezed souls From pillows, Soiled stars Wrought one tip of my brow And bled every last liter, For tomorrow’s star. Atop melody, I imagined a piano, The nail-less fingers a’rapping,’ Opposed my battered knuckles, Awry atop ivory And concluding chorus, A not so sad one, a not so bad one But the last one; Certitude and Without encore in earshot. The world ended last night; I know now, beyond doubt, it really did.

When worlds end and night's prior
The world ended last night. I’m sure it did. And while I squeezed souls From pillows, Soiled stars Wrought one tip of my brow And bled every last liter, For tomorrow’s star. Atop melody, I imagined a piano, The nail-less fingers a’rapping,’ Opposed my battered knuckles, Awry atop ivory And concluding chorus, A not so sad one, a not so bad one But the last one; Certitude and Without encore in earshot. The world ended last night; I know now, beyond doubt, it really did.
