Emerald Lament
Obsidian passion
peeling
coming loose
falling in a magnificent
flutter
of dirty snow flakes
transparent
like poorly constructed lies
gathering gracefully
upon the doorstep.
Our stars are cloaked
blended away
from all the illuminating
city lighting
bleeding into the sky
akin
to scarlet roses
laid against insipid pastels—
an advertisement for sex
spirits
the finest bourbon
and cigarettes
available to man.
Grievances shall be taken
in silence
not a word to be spoken,
swallowed
like the miserable pill
taken before bed—
our secrets will sleep
with us
intrusive through the weave of dreams,
a forget-me-not
of uncontrollable expressions
hidden and repressed
rage!
bottled
away
with so much sadness.
