view murder scenes
under the streaming lights
thunder clashing with a roar of laughter
out of nowhere
[stripped of context]
it's absurd and funny
maybe it is
maybe is not
a joke for society to plead
for unity when we each fall apart
we fall alone
we cry together
[massive sighs fill the air and we've closed our eyes]
i turn away, in real disgust
to the book i began reading
you dare to take that away from me
and call me names, and kill my voice?
dim lights play in my hair and yours
as we sway into a mute music
enclosing skies announce storms above, beyond, around
[i do not care]
shards of stars glimmer between the clouds
[and my sorrow ends when you smile]
