    Love Lies Bleeding

    ★★½

    Blue is the lovingest lie 🩵


    Bronze muscle
    too supple
    cannot hustle

    too sentimental
    to strike out 
    on its own.

    Pulls back 
    and cracks
    the patriarchs back.

    Splits town 
    to happily 
    ever 

    or at least

    nap

    which hides
    the supple
    from the hard.

    Narcissus and the gods both…

    What happens when you keep shaving and sanding away at a process that has been with you a lifetime.  A small, refined bead, struck by light , presents itself .  🔄
