whiskey bourbon slips down your throat
like how your hand leaves mine
demanding and remote
yet softly refined by flesh so divine
it'll make your hopes float

you say you take it like a man but then you gloat
comforting and somewhat beat
you try to remember what was wrote
the resting past, future bittersweet
you try to let me rest in your anxiously warm coat

hands resting against hope

the world hangs on by a thread
and you're filled with invisible grief
the equations rote
with the name of me underneath a sheath
the company is dread

but who are we when there's nothing to grieve?
and who are you to be when the ones you love are dead?

-eclipses that turn into apocalypses
ACT I

"i was going to say plastic, but you know, that works too."
