Set out through the evening snowfall
So you depart from me
The cleansing rains of this cold planet chill me as I sleep
The whim of dice
The different ways in which we aim these dying bodies
As we seek to fly
Do you see your dream girl?
I’m going to bury her deep in my reptile mind
The universe is pulling us apart
As if in pity for my singing heart
Soon to call across the void
In remembrance of its cherished friend
Having lost its only other light
An apology:
The sickness that swells inside of me
Cannot be expressed
A hidden tenderness
Clutched against solidifying breast
This malignant dishonesty
By which I have become possessed
Has shaped my vessel
