She snapped the sun for its colors. It wore itself among the road. It left its fragments in the sheets. It cut against the sides of feet. Music's encode in her eyes. Felt the tremble in her twitch. Learned the lyrics of her lips. Fell apart at fallen slip. I drowned while staring at the sea. In an empty room of walls. Her tears were whole-note rests of salt. I kept saying it's not your fault. She said burn ... together. |

Laced in the rays of shine from the title on down. Very much enjoyed the read and the reflection it causes the reader to indulge in. (and I guess ... or think maybe I should say congrats!!!!!!!?????) |
