watching sunlight
fade to black
shines light on
infinite darkness.
vast cosmos,
profound emptiness
reveals significance
in existence.

we'll warm under cover

i don't understand
the concept of
coming of age
because although
i am no longer
a #child i never
came of age myself
innocence broke
long ago like
an old doll
that i still
sleep with
but though i
grow wide
i never grow up

from the antique dresser
to hallways at the mall,
he is there, captured
within a reflection of the mirror.
he is supposed to be me,
but, instead, is something other,
a segment of life frozen,
then remembered no more.
maybe not so other, after all.

neglecting the heart, embracing
the ritual of our rival, when
we forget our vaporous villain
boasts nothing of value?
complicity corrodes chambers
of the heart, leading us to
invoke violent incantations.
