what to expect for a sunday dinner
but good stews and news and other such
things that invoke happiness, comfort
for the week
albeit these recent dinners of sunday
writhe with pain and suffering of souls
your troubles and toils are rubbing off on
all those around you
your transparent skin tone is scathing my spirit and
all the ones you love.
so then shackles?
if we don’t we may regret it
slim tapers burn down as you say you will taper…
off.
and my hands are all covered in hot
burning wax
while i try to sleep on a sunday
remnants of sunday dinner with or without you
flash through my mind while
once more we are struggling
you’re still drifting under and
dripping with senseless blather.
but i know you’re there somewhere
and we’ll find you
