Literature Text

I am the soul connector
to the languish
that is night.
I am the one transpirer
of the wisdom
of the fight.
I am the neon lasers
that spit heat
and fire and light.
I am the deafening silence
that is the void
you left behind.

You were the dusty sunrise
four days gone
on winding road.
You were the beauty left
in all the diamonds
that I own.
You were the softness left
in my heart
that's hard as stone.
You were the static around me
when I inhaled
in my home.

We were the audience you needed
when your house
became your Hell.
We were the information
when you didn't know
or couldn't tell.
We were the medication
that soothed
your battered health.
We were the lucky Ace
in all the bad hands
you were dealt.

It was the subtle ending
to a life
you left behind.
It was the gentle touch
for all those who came
and cried.
It was a beautiful song
that summed you up
in time.
It was all the fading shadows
you managed
to hide behind.

This is the beautiful future
they write about
in songs.
This is the reassurance
that life
need not be long.
These are the final answers
to all the questions
you got wrong.
This will be burned in a box
and buried
where it belongs.
"The still must tease with the promise of a story the viewer of it itches to be told."
Cindy Sherman
