there are pinholes
in my darkness
little rays of light
lost lumens
seeking an escape
from the irrevocable
emptiness that
permeates my entirety

cascading beams
that exist only
to be absorbed
into my inequities
bounced against
the onyx stillborn heart
caged in a tomb
of bonefuckery

every unanswered
prayer wish
or i love you
a fresh coat of tar
to patch the paths
of perverse pathos
prematurely extinguished
by my own hubris

in the eclipsing
stardust soulscatter
regulated in
the vacancy behind
my lifeless eyes
there are paintspatters
black against the black
that is the color of my smile
