Monochrome


Shifting

Lifting

Kiss-ing

Hands hands hands

Endless

Endlessly

Hold and

Let-go

Breathe in and out

Slow and slow

Go and go

Glow

Eyes bright

Trapped starlight

Dead

I’m ended

I’m the end

All

In one single blow

Knees shaking

Whispers of

Regret, no, love

Fill me

And continue to

Kill me

Until I’m more than dead

A spirit

Ghostly

Drifting and haunting

Wrung free

Of any humanity and humanity

Has freed me

In turn I’ve left it all behind

It

a child wanting it’s toy back

Me

End all is all me

A godawful

Bird

Flying and flying

Just to fall

Back in your arms

again
