"Rusted Harp" Strings crust over like ancient ossuary bones, once vibrant with touch, now mute in neglect. Each pluck would be agony— a resurrection of rust, a hymn to how we let beauty corrode. .

Wisdom?
Look at me. look at me Do you see what I see? The world? All aflame! And yet, you dare hold your breathe, When I ask you, if you love me? How dare you! Can you not see how much I need you? Can you see me? Can you see the piece of me you have left shattered on the floor You kicked me around, and left me To die there. How dare you. May you forever be haunted By the memory of seeing my lifeless body Dangle from your ceiling.
