What Am I?

I'm not human.

I'm a fossil crumbling behind a smirking mask of glass.

I am a ghost

Cursing the luminous wilt of your eyes

Until your peacock dreams go

Blind.

Whatever I am,

It is something your thunderous tongue will never understand.

We rot endlessly under the same

Long, cold, halo of stone.

My heart dissolves like rainwater

Into the savage pulse

Of being.
