foolish things

Riddled at once full of 

the words your world once

hung from, these ripples, 

death rattles, and dumb 

ricochets enter these dusty 

halls where imaginary repartee 

echoes, rot and ruin endure

fresh hells and blooming 

bruises, Pandora’s Box 

spilling from the trash can, 

the litany of all that is no

longer, catching the short

end of the sentience.

A stone, a food cart,

a big box full of rocks.

The smoke on my lips 

touching the whisky of 

your kiss, a room stuffed 

with want and heat, 

the flavor of a lie savored

long after all the truth was gone.
