pits and fortresses

you are a stretch of forgotten reason,
beyond the mute, twinkling bend,
the rain completely erased,
there is only an everlasting mirror
no color, no solidity overshadows
the whole whiteness of us

your world no longer sees in frilly pink
and pastels of disastrous faith,
the tarnish of memories, the torn tassels
of desire that was once the other only ghost
only love could dismember from these lonely...
apparitions
