where the impossible seems three shorts steps to the left, and one giant leap into insanity…
Latex covered miles, within desperate eyes, the burning flames of substance, forgotten, broken, polluted sideways glances, gouges, fornication, lies, singular symptoms separated from a mirror, wide legs apart, victim, lover, leader, cried with tears of silence, sorrow for a moment less done...
A wasted window, shut not open, broken, deceiving you, while I’m deceiving myself, shadowing the importance of truth, we are the important ones, lost in a cycle, past, present, paternal and maternal, a wisdom not give, a sin held inside, who am I, who was I, words not spoken, silence not broken, my voice shaken, …
