a fleeting moment
By Jessica Liu
in the heat of the morning
in the bleakness of night
the cold shard sits within me
ready to ignite
there is a flame of truth that tickles
my eardrums dance to the beat
there are echoes that follow me
stomping their little feet
i swivel in the chaos of life that drowns
grasping for their soft hands
forgiveness is nowhere to be found
the ground below me crumbles
as my mind chases the cosmic tune
i can’t really help myself
because you colored out the blues
my eyes of hollow nature
bleed the song of life
so tell me dear soul
why i carved them out with knives
