I'm beating the corners, butchering my words.
cutting at the lisense of smiles.
all to say, I am inhuman, but not immune.
they say I'm unfeeling, yet I am your muse.
I can see, the spark, diffuse.
I can see where your hand moves to.

I am in a sea sick, homesick bundle.
Curling in a blanket, holding up the flash light,
to slash the words across the page.

I sit in my cookie cutter life.

A perfectly residential town.
The moths do gather, at the proper hour, for a festering upon the light.
Hide the stars, these street lamps, hold success.
Stealing the center. out of my happiness, with such minimal effort.
and I recognize the percentage of my strength to be a familiar low.
The shade of blue I have mastered seems to be an art.
A color like none you will see...
a color you will not study, or observe in your hand, for I have left your grasp.

I loved. I always like your poems. Especially the moths part. Great write.
