Silk Ash Cascade

The waves break
Stripping cartilage
Atlantic
Pitched black sea
Frayed dust
In the constant moment
Look away
Brush past what's in front of you

Hands over hand
Interlaced
Crushed keepsakes
Are buried in my palm
Trembling heart
The steady hand
Scarred over
The unhealed wound

Rehearse starless twilight
Reversing out of a minute that's already passed
Trembling corners of the room
Keep secrets whispered to them
Falling into a quiet, separation
Curtains of light pick out snowfall
Banding asphalt in pools of amber
The path unravels as I match it's steps

Despite the numbing of years
I feel it in my marrow
Vanishing
They are excluded from heaven
