Blunders: #9

Tonight
We are snared
By the void.

And then
She’s foolish
For saying

“I look old,
And decrepit
And life has left me.”

And I remained silent
As my viscera trembles,
My heart laughs.

She buried her face
Underneath the mattress
And I told her timidly

“Come on.
Let’s stay young,
Let’s dance.”

And I swore
I heard her
Heart bawl.

It echoed through me
As the still night
Once again wanes

Let’s dance
Dance dance
Ourselves away.
