Scarecrow the only survivor
Once I lost you.
Saying hello to the honeys
In the end we were not
Run into the ground
So much as abandoned
To reality, raw and sensuous.
I slipped out to take a piss
And soaked our love
No matter. Least now
It can never burn.
Our eyes pretended to fidelity
Ears choked on lies
Lies that boiled like
Caught salmon in my head
But the fire got stamped out
As gathering clouds
Snuff the stars at night
To leave less love than ghost of love
To linger like smoke in our hair
