Reflections of the Falsely Presumed


Brushed metal and auburn wood outline
contented countenances and blushed cheeks; facing
foundations of finite tantrums of disbursement.

Medium-height carpet.

Phones buzzed and giraffes arched to peek;
the borders fell off the bedroom wall
favoring the shallow underpinnings of sleep.

Interlocution unfurled a bland flower on the side:
décor for a slipper. Memories of walking on walls,
idolized as to not be forgotten: the grayness.

Tulck...tulck…“Have you killed someone?”
There must be a telltale heart to be silenced
With each thrust the glass reflects a crack.

The splintered window was a priori opaque;
the characters thrived on a foggy ocean pier.
Invisible lies threw dagger-drops unclear.

Three nightmares that detriment sleep
from the ground up; recollection of mist
feathering a face. Drizzle-dry as a dream.
