i am
an accumulation
of ghosts
haunting
a weary skeleton
lost in a
blizzard of
feathers and
flower petals
a shuffling
confusion of
crimson tears
leading ever
further from
where i
longed to be.

an urban legend
the dyslexic
cupid firing
missives of
adoration
while wasting away
in empty lots
across the city
of unreciprocated
heartmurmurs.
