Fleeting Expirations
The whispering
echoes of freshly dried
memories crushed
as easily as petals by
the stages of expectation,
sail windlessly forever
raised, rampant, ruined
the cigarette butts extinguished and
the car speeds away as
the typhoon overcomes the
fragile city whose broken glass
glistens with pale evil
reminders of fame and fortune
wrung out and dried like a
sponge and too many holes
so deep and cold
our armies huddle with
tattered blankets
waiting for the miracle that never came
and also the masterminds that
let their cunning catch up,
plated sparrows caged
in fairy tale prisons
easily avoidable,
easily invisible
with the cookie cutter rejects
and smiling faces of humanity
most of all
the greatest desires of the soul.
