my words aimed down the scope as heated blankets feel more like frostbite when hurriedly fired.
what if benevolence is not an adequate source of heat when the power lines topple?
when these ideas run rampant, they are an uncontrollable current-
a social trend picking at gnarled vines of dead skin,
a pair of open eyelids constantly looking at the only two pictures of you still saved on the cloud-
the remnants of your sapphire eyelids cutting my brick femurs like passive ash.
what if my words immortalized your fluttering agility-
a glass universally unbreakable?
what if the punctuation composted your faith like fresh coffee grounds in a drought-stricken garden?
would you aim once more,
or would the circuit breaker gather dust?

what if benevolence is not an adequate source of heat when the power lines topple?
when these ideas run rampant, they are an uncontrollable current-
a social trend picking at gnarled vines of dead skin,
a pair of open eyelids constantly looking at the only two pictures of you still saved on the cloud-

what if my words immortalized your fluttering agility-
a glass universally unbreakable?
what if the punctuation composted your faith like fresh coffee grounds in a drought-stricken garden?
would you aim once more,
or would the circuit breaker gather dust?
