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
