wrecked wild wretched witch

we are hideous

but

we have art

we are fiends

but

there are still songs

we are human

but

we can find buts

in all

even in the artless

and songless

*

everyone is tired

from

everyone being tired

so sleep in my arms

and retire

*

everything is

a metaphor for death

but not everything is

a metaphor for life

*

i believe that modernity

is a civil experiment in

always being on the bring of tears

but not crying

which makes you want

to cry more

but you can’t

you can’t

because are people looking wide eyed

and wild

*

i am losing

you

but at least

i have that

for soon

i will have

nothing
