Ashes on the Pendulum
the moths whisper
and my life is now made up
of seconds
the pendulum swings
becoming three shades of white
there's a ladder at the edge of the world
suspended
sometimes i wonder what
happens between the
silences
the sound of footsteps die
like everything
but death
a shallow breath is drawn
white noise
time passes
like an antique paper weight
and
it will show you hidden realities
the dark doves fly
and then they scatter
in the wild quiet
is our last salvage of sympathy
embers dance and fade
bright in the sky
falling to the
wet earth on the
wind is just imaginings within other
imaginings
and
it will become honesty
against silver
shadow folding into
hollow shadow to create the
sunlit grey is all i
see where forever ends and
feels like falling
to
iridescent dreams of stories
woven into
the skin of lives that
in dust in
bright darkness in
the sky underneath the
sea of glass
where
ashes fill the sky and
the flowers are the sound of silence
the flowers are the sound
the flowers are
the flowers are
the flowers
Rain falls.
