Now that the light is fad i n g
the south stares from across the earth.
The north has already been d r a w n of its color.
As I go further d
o
w
n,
so does the sun.
Dark digeststhesky slowly though the glowing,
red eyes have begun their vigilant
heaving
breaths.
His tongue s
lits through my focus.
I have wandered into his domain to relieve myself of his shadowy conceit.
He asks me to concede my arcane revelations.
Words meander around who are and core.
Let go.
I tell him if he knows then there is no need to ask; won’t let him coax me to
the garden.
(they warned of his silvery delusions.
should’ve known better than to entertain
the nefarious.)
He brands a smile
Glazes talk of who and why and a spider and a fly
Shoulder off fragility; tongue suspended.
(you never gave me a reason to believe.
that’s why i pity you. you pilfer wool to
sew into your sight. smear fool’s gold against
your speech. all for an edged ego. so desperate to
hold a bit of humanity. you’re not privy to that.
you must prey in order to procure some company.
i’ve danced in your babled arithmetic far too long.
my soles will no longer engage in your invective gambol.)
I never emitted those lyrics. It wasn’t necessary.
He caught them inside and they circled in pride.
Marked his exterior with a slight grimace.
A commencement of deliverance.
