Parallel Quantum
Between shattered timepieces,
where minutes dissolve
to falsified heroics, there rests
a barren truth—
the sky above us never knew our names;
instead, it cradles silent witnesses
to our missteps over imagined bridges.
They say the stars are eternal flames,
yet they flicker with tales untold and
ruptured dreams wrapped in borrowed promises.
I walk the sidewalks of my memory
pausing as regret builds cities across my veins.
Beneath these nude electric lights,
every shadow stitched
with honest deceit, we find:
A thousand voices synchronized,
murmuring the secret in
cycles of serene denial.
