a piece

strike the match that waters

fire that burns the drain

spout despairing quintessence

chiding the mororse contained

within varying, vestibule vials

quaintly filled with ice

dry, freezing, phosphorescent

calmly read, explained

sever never a loving expression

take my heart as plain

paged ineffectually with reason

quandry of the lace

laundered, lethargic, low-contended

callow, youthful, vain

makes the wind mine own digression

named the fire mine own to tame

waxed as a candle melted

tomorrow awakens mystery

never more a masked agenda

never more a masquerade

the door unlatching, lifted, angled

few qualities to name

sober will the night endeavor

come till morrow morning awake
