locket

near empty
just a few seeds
rattling about inside
salted earth
beneath
toxic clouds
above
feels
like lately
all there is left
is waiting
for the crows
to pick away what’s left
still got life to live
but it is fleeting
still got dreams
but they are fading

an image of you
distorted over time
in a locket
hanging over
my failing heart
