a liquid pearl of thought
somewhere in a sea of me
died in a dream tonight
reflecting eyes of atrophy
sitting in soaking silence
humming air instilled throughout
holding vibration like a key
diluted and poisoned with doubt
we could be brittle exteriors
cracked to fulfill an open destiny
pieces of human candor
shooting holes through trickery
only for one waking moment
an eye shutter of a movement
a porous picture of perfection
yet sound, complete iridescence
