The waves break

Stripping cartilage

Atlantic

Pitched black sea

Frayed dust

In the constant moment

Look away

Brush past what's in front of you

Hands over hand

Interlaced

Crushed keepsakes

Are buried in my palm

Trembling heart

The steady hand

Scarred over

The unhealed wound

Rehearse starless twilight

Reversing out of a minute that's already passed

Trembling corners of the room

Keep secrets whispered to them

Falling into a quiet, separation

Curtains of light pick out snowfall

Banding asphalt in pools of amber

The path unravels as I match it's steps

Despite the numbing of years

I feel it in my marrow

Vanishing

They are excluded from heaven
