An empty space
But for the dark that’s screaming “somethings missing”
A fevered race
Lapped before the starting guess
Left a pondering mischief in its wake
Only evil has face
The rest is smiles and soothing love songs
Revision ain't an ever after
An ending never
Never-ending
Mirror glory
Burns a hole right through the star shine
And in its wake
A bleak pretending
Now made manifest
Where lovely whimsy
Was before it took a form
A rock casts only a shadow
The line shines through
Waiting for the rock to crumble
As it will
For rocks and stones and words do not last
Beyond the one who carries them
The brilliant beautiful
Absurd
Only wants to be nothing
And is made a thing
In jealousy
Torn down from heaven
To be devoured
By the man who fed his beast too long
And wonders why he adopted it
In the first place
Wasn't it the shame
Of colors too bright
That brought the hungry dwellers from their caves
To offer, with leash in hand,
The same fear that had been thrust upon them
By the chain of beast masters-come slaves
To the monster that preceded them
