-- in the corridor between chaos and dreams
where echoes linger and waltz
a skeletal refrain hums
subdued and cyclical;
can you hear them
under translucent ceilings?

flicker, don't flicker
a flick of brightness betrays
the static lullabies hum
woven of whispers
drifting memories along
the pulled silk of midnight.
*silence punctuates, pauses punctuate❤️*

let her grasp your hand
step beneath the tethered stars
watch as they puddle beneath
your unanswered solemn; dance
to wings and
the settling forsaken light.
