the smell of smoke lingering underneath your pointed jaw
blackened hearts served on a plastic platter
flesh wrapped in chiffon as the sun bakes our skin
a chilled zephyr blowing dust out of our sockets
and the sinking rays of violet intermissions seeping into frosted grass
with marrow in a golden chalice
a wish to be wistful for the release of breath
and the suffocation from a thicket of trees.
