Lines Left on The Cutting Room Floor - February 23, 2019

Your choice bewilders logic out of spite.
Abandoned words, those withered, bloody petals,

fall to earth. Obey their sly forgiveness.
The slow goodbye filling your mouth with smoke

cracks the shell that hides what you’ve become.
Beat the life you’re sworn to like a drum.
