Golden smiles
drift on
dense clouds,

clogging my
windpipe
with their
white whispers.

My mind now
a cottonfield,
I choke on the silence,
my voice is mute.

The well bleeds dry
like a painful
callous on a
waitress’ heel.

Rain cleanses
my wounds,
drowning my tongue

as it stamps
out the fire with
heavy boots.

Blissful haze
envelops me in
warm blue blankets

cradled by the
crescent moon,
as she faithfully
travels my path.

Oh, how I long
to escape,
to free my mouth
from beneath
the white sheet

for just one moment...

just one breath...

knowing my
heaven would
wait for me,

to dry my throat
once again.

Every new beginning comes from some other beginning's end...
