Ears for siren songs.
Battles to maintain a peace.
Veteran of self.

Combatants circle
In a black velvet void.
It was never a fair fight.
The colors, now dimmed,
Succumbed
To nicotine and dust.
Living room walls
Papered in red crushed velvet
Spill outwards,
Coagulating into furniture.
Pooling into shag carpet.
Full ash trays.
Lighters. Matches.
A shoelace necklace
With two keys,
One for each house.
The morning relay race.
The baton runs the last leg
Alone.
The box is not hidden.
There is no lock.
Hinges that creak only once.
An echo becomes a siren song
In isolation.

or the time to be yourself?
perhaps it's just the opposite of noon...

The world steals your soul
And turns it into money.
You must earn it back.
And turns it into money.
You must earn it back.
Winter garden,
the moon thinned to a thread,
insects singing.

tomorrow is full of promise and the unknown
yet it will soon be yesterday, things past,
history -
now only seen in the rearview mirror
that is the imperfect view of memory

Troll without a bridge,
Seeking to impede no one.
Goats are pretty cool.

Shepherds are now wolves.
The flock: self-branded, now blind,
Amused by slaughter.

Sighted eyes closed.
Blind eyes observe and report.
Reason is homeless.
