Bury your secrets
Like brittle coffins,
Misshapen representations
Containing remnants of past lives
Decomposing fibers disconnecting
Shedding splinters and dust.
Loosely held convictions
Scrapping the sides of your grave
Crumble like pastries
Poisoned with promises unrequited
Fractures obscene and unsaid
Shifting blame and purpose.
Tilted perspective lines the inner sanctum
Comforting the frigid corpse
Lips blue with the touch of hesitation
Alight with the echoes of all undone
Pieces of cloth encircle madness
Expressing anger and remorse.
Shards of glass protect the sleeping
Light engulfed in recompense
Shafts of shade lull the weakened
Pages fading into sand.
