Remiss - The Circle Ends Here

Gray morning breaks and

scatters the green off the leaves

in their struggle to grasp their branch

Dead birds sing to the patience of a cancer

who decided to stay another day

Rooftops lay languid on the leaking walls

as they open their cracks each hour

Dust gathers in corners

with toys left devoid of meaning

forgotten, abandoned from their child

Pale light from the center of the sky

absorbing life, hiding behind the beauty of white

Words mispronounced

forming a speech

and it glares in it’s thousand

shattered mirrors

A night of binding lights

Blankets giving hope through their subtle breaths

truth flies off tongues

only to carve

into an open scar

and lay its eggs

and they grow black inside the veins

waving the disease among the streets

Celebrating mirth like pigeons to their seeds

under the figment of values

careless, careless
