An exercise in futility
I try again to start
5 lines
Seeming so innocent
Spawn a void of ceaseless waiting

The moon rose
And I screamed inside, mouth wide
Open to the torrent
I drank chaos, and it tasted of you

The pomegranite kiss of death

Juicy and sweet, melting my heart and begging it to stay

I looked Hades square in the eye

And said I was going home

(Let's see if we can start this up again.)

Maybe it was the scent of lilacs

Or just the heaviness of breath

"Crying and laughing are the same movement"

I said to you, buried in your chest

And whether that gentle agitation comes from

Moist brown eyes or flashing white teeth

There's no better way to shake me into sleep
