dream death

stained glass windows (fissures, jagged edges) shot through with light (shot) (shot) (refract the sun (disruption))

broken china fixed with gold (substitute pyrite) (still soft)

cobblestone streets (trip fall twist snap) 

river running by (erode. pollute. disappear.)

he falls at her lap. he does not breath. she does not breath. how can she? dagger into heart now, ritualistic,

justified, natural. separate skin, slip between bone, bypass lung, all useless in a moment, give the blade its

home. she falls atop him. repeat.

supplicate me. implicate me. 

is it your fault? is it mine?

(wake up. wake up. wake up.)
