| So it happened. The dirt arose. It swallowed us whole. Its stories were whispered, Lies were spun Beautifully, like spider’s silk. In a lonely house The real truth lies Behind yellowed walls And a blank TV screen Where the translucent moon Bleeds dew on the dead grass And the sunlight does nothing But fade the furniture. It started here, In a reoccurring dream We stepped over broken mirrors And under a fractured firmament And they shone through the narrow, jagged lines, Small disjointed glimpses of hope. It was pure. It rained from a sky of glass And soaked into our plastic skin. And we just kept being alone. I awoke. The hole was deep. The air was gray. And nothing remained But an infinite lie And the dirt on my hands. |
