Blue Moon

78) love no more.

left the exclamation

and question mark: out

cutting off the hanged man,

(don't leave him

hanging in the dark)

opened the drawer

and watched your smiles

amongst the shards of glass,

glittering in the dark light of wood

and your dress —

and your bouquet,

my, you pulled open the shutter

left the hanged man to hang in the dark,

(i wonder when you did that) 

love is not love.

for you anymore, love lost

its path, love flew back in your face

then flew out the window

and you shut in its shell, its old skin

shattered over the dress, glittering

and the bouquet and two teeth smiles,

you shut the drawer on

love's carcass, left it hanging in the dark.
