I Said Nothing

 

The keys belong to someone else. The lamp flickers for its torch. I grow bitter. Such boxy jingling. Manna was temporary; faith seems to last for centuries. A man looked at a woman’s contour. Such repute of a woman. Like a sponge to absorb separateness; like holding a heart on stage. Brooks. Curdling algae. Never such silence. To esteem beauty; to contemn with irony. So superconscious.

So languid at points, eating perseverance, wondering what in hell is this. Dancing out firebrand. Returning to find emptiness. Those lavender scars, marooned eyes, turquoise pains, topaz wounds. I said nothing.
