(I just have to keep trying to write)
a million lighted pin-pricks on this
fortress's bloody facade, blaring a thousand
tongues of tarot cards and candy stings
that line the grandoise walls inside.
But here the mist settles on us, immobile.
We try to bleed in the world outside of us,
enrapt in folds of interpertation.
Fortune threads whisper we're beautiful -
the dots of heaven brake on blinding and, heads hung,
we've only spotted reflections on a puzzle piece.
