Month: July 2023

summer dusk the bitter end of holding on

melancholy is the game we play come bare me your soul

the temptation to slip into dark water depths and be free

the kindness of your eyes need i say more

summer thoughts burst into flames in the morning light

trail of black feathers that lead the feet across grey tiles

robes unsheathed to reveal night’s skin and scales

pagans of the frail flesh performing soft rites

such is humanity’s delight in denying our mortality

the river grey reminds us that we are still flesh and blood
