LOVE DIES UNSPOKEN

Darkness hailed me the cab
while cats fought in eager claw
this shadow bribed in light
death breathes- alive
those eyes you cast as dice
gamblers ate without a sacrifice

This body rented scar
laid across a mounted venus
too soon the barefoot march
on roads of printed glass

across some dreary town
inside locked within the same clown
we discuss our disguise
dress in time
set in the slated path
marble teeth those monolith laughs

pointed
broken fingers lay
displayed in shallow pools
as legs twisted far apart
accept the loaded heart

I fear just the day
love hidden
curled against the scent of wet stone
moss heaves in the silent rasp
this grave quickly comes to pass
unmarked with cloud
