Leering in the light

Leering in the light

1 min
195

this sunset has betrayed me

like you did that afternoon

it's all grey in front of my eyes

one corpse, two corpses, three corpses…

used to be vivid golden orange

horizon’s blue and green melting into

a splash of blood

violet emerging from the depths

of the earth

to cover up everything in

darkness.


I remember the water swimming

all around us

when they tried to drown me

our friends, that is

for kicks.


you stood on the beach

sipping margaritas with an

orange peel twirled around your

middle finger.


nobody was there

when I regained consciousness

choking, coughing

floating under the moonlight

bleeding from my ears.


I never saw you again

until this grey sunset

cast its fleeting embers

to leer at your shadow

on the road

while I leer from the overhead

Bridge.
