I do not have the heart for war,
yet peace finds restless feet.
Pacing on tacks my sentry runs circles of blood and elegant deceptions.
Outdated, posted pictures of drawn lines,
charcoal scrubbed clean beneath the smudges and antediluvian calm
of spotless fingernails.
chalked sidewalks talk beneath the facade
of grass
as phone lines serve for memory,
overgrown and silent.
the windowpane still beckons,
precious little moonbeams rapping caffeine keys
as I type our story into bedtime ritual,
tucking frayed edges in against the cold.
*novelty*
I shudder.
hindsight of the first admission,
liquescent on the uncircumcised tongue
scraped and gasped into this midnight of staccato longing.
taptaptapping
lacing your message into DNA,
curling it as a ribbon upon scissor blades.
step away from the window...
we are sowing the wind with bad seed,
with apathetic ire and retributions.

PS. If you can, try your hand at giving some of the others a bit of feedback. If you already have, thanks, can you do some more?
