Miracles Don't Happen

Part of me― like a morpheme, 
you are leaving. 
Now I will stand without legs. 

The slain shadow moves 
from face to face. I 
have yet to complete my chapter. 

I know what you have to offer. 
But I wanted more of 
your intimate thoughts about life and death. 

You have frequent mood swings. 
Sometimes you wanted to go insane 
in this clever and wise world. 

I trace the terrain of the 
inaccessible mount, where one day 
you will find broken hull.
