Layers, and layers.
Mounted on a plank of exposed ingratitude.
Sewn with a hook plunged from within, filtering true hearts from the rotten sphere.
One that lies in the depth of what remains hidden from brazen eyes and angry fittings of shrinking souls.
They wander,
into the night
For respite,
into the hunting darkness that turns their lonely selves,
and their shells to sullen emptiness.
Hearts swell
Larger, and larger
To burst
deepening shades of sorrows
it was yellow then orange
darkening its trail as the journeying dusk
Their tears they carry in palms raised up to iron clouds
So their prayers may be heard
So their heavy hearts may be lifted
but
this echo of silence
this muted lightening spark
this blinding glimpse of sharp light
It screams back in apathy,
and ceases
Abandoned in their sullenness
Their finger tips they protract
Breaking without rhythm
as their forgotten remains
No one is listening. No one is coming
