scrapsong (redux)


I saw you hang yourself to an end of a quote

some small fate that your books fall by my keep

and that smile before we spoke, almost always whispered:

I swore that the stars no longer rule.

you hold my world here, to see you writing yours

carved between stone and the length of sorrow

could I tell your greatest fear is that:

all of love is only borrowed.

the dreamers stand, on weight to move the water

or mistaken for the rust-less

secrets you won't know:

slow bird, so last, fierce.

—Ian William L.
