stary stary night

why do they put the caps lock right beside the letter a…

i can feel the stirring…

summer days are beginning to falter…

sultry nights turn chill by dawn…

strong willed sun…

like abusive fathers…

stand and glare under the glow of a cigarette tip…

i am not for this world…

bright and green and filled with things…

i long for the fevered grey…

the ravens black…

and the blessed touch of ice and snow upon my cheek…

like her hand…

to sooth me to sleep…

and once again brush with death…

and see…

and know…

she is finally free of the mortal coil…

that bound her so…
