a shot of star-spangled glimmer

a shot of star-spangled glimmer

A Poem by highonwords


some days, i crawl out
of the house, pleading sanity
on a street that circles
in my head to a scrawl
of a face asking who i am,
but the world doesn't answer
it doesn't know my name,
i am frightened feelings,
since i knew i came out
of mortal womb, the coil
untangled from around my neck
but i still feel the cold
the way i didn't know ice
in your eyes, and the blue
that erased me farther down
the stretch paler than dark,
my feet fails to draw the way,
my hands, the uprooted trees,
and my heart, the glimmer
of steel sinking low with sun
