allowed and to be taken
away from our empathy.
we had to bleed clear
water.
no one would ever
find our transparency
to be kind, nor dead.
clear blue rips break apart
for our crevices and in silence
we are looking through old
tower walls
and looking glass
torn walls.
lets barn wood
our eyes and make room for
less fear. i can be your victim
and you,
you can melt into
the serpents divine
spine.
the war between us lasted
longer than the seasons
could lay down with us.
we sleep while the
sky waits
still.
and yet we remain
quite as a
skull
