words by dominic riccitello

beneath your essence
i’m lying in his death
on planets twisting sentences
before time could exist
we found space between us
in molecules held together
an atom without an eve
in the dark of the night
behind shadows in the dark of my mind
i told you this to find us together
in melancholy weather
with a void of happiness
i spoke in bits
to create question inside of this
a human body
meant not for i
but for souls to twine in my mind
create nostalgia for things i had admired
in this life
 
i said why
because time is never of the essence
questions lead to our existence
and i lead not by example
because examples are a fail to follow
shadows are a mad man’s halloween
the weak look for obsolete
and i seek a darkened meaning
