Internal inclinations push against
walls slowly cracking
amidst faltering
endurance.
Calling it
:
patience.

Nightfall
Nightfall has a funny way
of bringing the things
we try to put away
to light

You
You let yourself in.
You
walked through doors
and floors
covered by a myriad of flaws
we never bothered to look at
,
You
placed your self
on internal shelves
I never wanted
to reach
,
You
barricaded your self
on levels which
were never warranted
,
You
collected dust
in bursts
dispersed
across the worst
outbursts
never previously rehearsed
,
You
went through phases
we called faces
in vases
always held
until they fell apart
;
But
you
Were never let in.
You
Never bothered to look at.
You
Never wanted to reach,
You
Were never warranted,
You
Never previously rehearsed,
You
Were always held.
Until
You fell apart.

Solitary
nightfall settles
into crevices
of blue
sky.
shadows
bleed. into
backdrops of
lightbulbs and
fleeting existence
- how many times do we stay when we don’t need to?

Choking II
It transcends into empty skies.
As we watch
the same birds
that flew
in the tranquility
of their emptiness
Sink
into
the same
spaces
that used to hold them
Sink
into
a canvas
that was never painted
Sink
into
oceans
that didn’t mind holding them
As we try
to hold onto
everything
that began letting
us go.
