summer the grey draft that lingers between steps

thus i am and i deserve to be the sum of your denials
just us frail things against the tides of masked emotions
tonight’s darkness bears down hard on our frail souls
of dark bodied gods in ritualistic carnal reinvention
revisiting ghosts in an armchair the grim tales we tell
breaths banished in the cool noon rain
random flashes of illumination deifying the confines of the dream fog
light rays and streaks of dawnfire the flesh has yet to wake
spread thin as the fog creeping slow across the forest floor
