Pencil Drawings

restless thoughts unbled

behind fragile casing

a midnight voice

that's kept inside

untouched by rust 

and 

rainbow fears


A pale light fills in the cracks

along a glassy mane of black coal


with tongue and pen

Both glued to mind

strangling the composition of a faded smile


Growing ebon needles 

reaching out to find

breech nerve to reveal

Me 

dissolving with a dripping mist

and


imagine with me

a yelp of escape

so thin and light


it slips through the slits of reaching

and shines within the pale cold 

of writing smiles


pulling you out of me 

and 

pressing down 

til relief is scored
