Iron Deficiency

You said, "In due time we will reverse polarity"
and so the sun set and the leaves fell
the wind blew in change and it landed on the tip of my tongue

mellow are my senses and numb is my heart
my actions impaired
my thoughts high and lofty

We chased lights and held our breath
Peace is what was found in the crest of a cloud

So run.
Run before the dawn warms our backs
Run before the Siren's song smashes us into thousands of particles
Run before their eyes of judgement roll from the back of their heads and rest upon us

But don't hold my hand
for you see....the darkness is only momentary.
and I know the way.

we take steps in a direction with no definite location
searching for the D.C. al Coda to bring us back....repeating the phrase to get to another ending
staccato is the beating of my heart...sharp, short, and painful

So here it is...the part where I release
letting that scarlet matter bead and drip
pushing through the tubes to the surface for air
the coppery stench surrounds and attacks the 4th

and just as it began....it dissolves.
frittering away like a drop of water on a hot blacktop.

until you learn the ways of sublimation...your time here will be condensed.
