Lost Sight

 

It’s a parade of defeats!

“I welcome you to this.”

A disheartening affair

The amount I will sink to

 

How many depths are left?

“I haven’t answered any questions.”

But I will leave you with this sweet fruit…

Let the red juices swirl on your lips

 

Meet me at the planetarium…

 

Stars separated in their burning

By a black mass

A whorl on your thumb

Press it firmly on your eyes

 

The soreness is illusory

This kiss is not

And certainly not your scent

 

I have lost sight of my obsession

Maybe when you had enough…

 

A darkness that can be heard

Gurgling to be spat out

The stars are so far away from each other

And only the aching darkness gives them company.

    Wonderful visuals! And I actually acted out the thumb on the eye thing and did you know it’s not that easy unless you go for the opposite eye? 😉 Fascinating discovery.
