safe haven
January 30, 2015
A single lie fell from
chapped lips
a smooth tongued
betrayal of truth
separated from oneself
sliced with a steak knife,
down the January core.
that version of
sanitary smiles
cherry cheeks
fireplace heart has been
chopped down like
the old oak tree,
A virus spread through genes .
a sickness embedded
into the skin of a crime scene.
want is the surrender
another safe haven found
in the flesh of control.
