hazel

when you looked at her

did you imagine hazel eyes?

i heard too late

looked too soon

gave up while i invaded your conversations.

if it was me, now

they wouldn't have scars.

i would not be guilty of crimes

too ghastly to discuss or even

drop under my breath to a passer-by.

metal kisses beneath shadow hair,

tear-augmented hair...

the way it's been since the day you were born

and the day i followed.
