Bodycount.

be sure to count mine
inside your bodycount;
i am emptiest of my
unused masks.
my feet have well night slipped—
my flight turned into fight,
against the army of my aliens.

though i walk in flesh,
their celestial sword is sharpened
by anger; an eternal bone.

i have no density
against them.

[against myself.]
save me,
for i cannot save myself.
i am untoward and belly-full of intent
yet no resource.
it breaks me.


I miss a great lot of yesterdays.

I apologize for this.
This...spill, this mockery of what is sometimes myself.
A battle of myself against myselves.
More so, as of late.

I don't even know to whom I am apologizing.
Probably myself.

Heh.

Oh, well.



I thank you for reading, all the same. :rose:

The preview picture definitely works, by the way

(and the author's comment - subtley heartbreaking).

This is "pro" :)
