Fractured candle light
flickered wildly that night
against the creamy walls,
as a heavenly dim indolent
glow cast itself outside of
the thick tweed drapery
where the sieving starlight
revealed your brokenness,
which buried secrets churned,
billowing out on to the surface
like slow oozing pahoehoe lava.
Lying motionless,
knowing the end.
Knowing…
it was The End.
