when the walls turn red again. and the demons turn in the other direction.
the colors won't mix, but they still belong together.
when the arrow shifts to point back at. cold parenthesis with nothing inside.
taste the ink then. let its current draw your raft.
no place for pictures. memories painted. no pockets left for collecting. all
that change left over after the transaction. all those stray petals the flower
sheds.
a pause explains what nothing else can. in that shared silence it's understood.
everything. before, during, after. i can almost see the look on your face as
you wait to take your next breath. debating inside your thoughts how long to
let the empty last.
just long enough, my friend. just long enough so that we know never to try
to fill it in again.
