Blue Murder

                  

Reach me with your eyebrows

Scratch my skin with your blue

Cover my face with your pupils

Brand my body with your bloodshot.

Sleeping is never easy.

 Uncovered, moonlight and maze.

Shut down, darkness
and nothing.

Wake up.

Now is the time.

Have to go.

Ready to die.

Get it done.

A neat murder.

One glimpse is enough.

Drenched

Closer than a smell of cloud in the rain

Farther than the sun behind the clouds

Were the words resting on my tongue.

Then I chose to close my eyes.

Only because the rain knew

Whom it was going to sprinkle.
