We sit in silence, backs crooked, the couches' cushions caving in. The weight of passing hours and minuettes alleviating thinking in a miscellaneous metronome ticking to bring time to a heaving chest. Stay calm, the pain of realignment will pass. Burdensome they may be, burgeoning wings will free you of... Pressure collapsing this cage, walls torn from studs, leaving only this skeleton surrounding us as we find delirium the backbone of convulsing lungs watched, earthquake mute laughter marring the faces with jagged faults. The cost of cracking, we must accept the scarring permanent. Breaks unplanned infirmities, alone, our time line disrupted itself and the heavens came, tumbling down. In silence, we lay, arms barring our escaping words. Eyes overstep boundaries, slipping through the gaps, a second moment of clarification fractures restraints whilst beguiling brainstorms sparked our interest. Our tongues meet, shyly. rubies placed upon your breath slipping against molded clay. In sapphires you and I hold nighttime reflections of passion contained in coal, waiting. Ivory runs my length, bending to ecstasy, breathing shallow, asynchronous, failing to find it's end in persistence. In night the danger dropped us, longing that dusty light beaming down on the show, Act 2 is the comedy. Off. Parallel parabola line diamond reflections, allow for recall with brushed fingertips, horse hair undertones realigning smiles, abstract the paintings of today, of yesterday, stealing away tomorrow in a previous reiteration of our variant indifference. The wings of the demon opened in symbolic solace, fell far across this burning emotional harbor, aflame in angels' suicides. We've fallen, taken knees to grace, whispering eulogies the waves applaud. Sands wash away to cupped stone palms, caressing the troubled banks lost in time. The blood washes away, momentary marks, brown, stained, it passes. Demons foreshadow. In their shade we are seen falling into broken arms, sinew stitched through hearts, still healing strength gives way. Our tongues meet shyly, this reunion a mistake, now locked, staying stilled while attempting apologetic phrasing. We sit in silence, backs crooked, blank walls and barren recounts crashing in.

Silence Crashing In
