words by dominic riccitello

i lie across you
to find the darkness
we were accustomed to
hidden under the edges of our hands
lie the words we yelled to and back
from beginnings until ends
how could you love like that
screaming in your shadows
hollering in your ashes
of the lies we danced
to take his hand or take the fall
a question of irony
acid rain broke the bearings
we once twirled
love to therapy
words to dreaming of parallel existences
where our distance was a moment
rather than forever
