New Poem. Comments Apre-cia-tate-ed!

Sonic Sympathies and Darklight Dances

Listen to the hearts breaking

On Sandusky and Williams.

The silent scream

Of building dreams

Shattered

Tinkling like glass

On Kristallnacht.

The cold air was the only thing

Holding my hands

As the metallic

Clink-clink-clink

Of my zipper beating

Against my jacket

Against the beating

Of my heart

Filled my ears.

I look at my shadow.

We are both shadows dancing

Around each other

Like the elongated lightless monsters

Dance around a room on fire.

When will the fire die

Allowing us to blend

Into the blackness

Of an unlit room?
