 i am neither (46)

brandish , hot iron , steel wool

found in the crypt -

where they danse macabre

dance for blossoms 

set in the sheer frost -

the dhalia hues 

-

stella

ma ris

share

your se

crets

-

no bitterness , as tomorrow night always comes

rhythm rhythm rhythm rhythm

inventories that BEAR ALL to support the 

RHYTHM

-

you must be dead or alive 

to dance it

yet i am 

neither
