Ether

So much ever after. Stilted chambers in acceptance. And the dogged promiscuity of forgiveness.

it breathes.

the draining wheeze of a humiliated heart.

This loveless geisha in her watery robe. Closes her eyes as the waves are divided.

and she is seen again.

Now. Then. Ever.

the downtrodden whims of hopelessness fever another desire.

So much nothing I was to them.
