Embers Moulded
Photo by Julien Millet on Unsplash I have words hiding inside my mind/ knocking to come out and I have forgotten the way/ white space rushes in to fill the gaps between the thoughts i meant to speak the memories fading like sick kittens i used to know crumpling inwards and downwards drowning never resurfacing/ one step after the next/ one key after the next/ a burning refusal of accountability/ a vengeance just out of reach/ breaths come fast and slow a few million hours sat in tapas absorbing the same damn tale over/ and over again/ fear and fury warring over details inconsequential both and engraved on the hearts of those long fossilized within the cooling embers of a forgotten tragedy
