words by dominic riccitello

i look at you and i see haunting
a road with shadows
to see you is darkening
i break to take you
evergreens and a loss of daisies
running with sharp knives
never got me so far
but running with you
seemed lovely
i take this horror to be you
details of a man with shades of blue
a boy in his terror
eyes in the sorrow of our loss made you
the knives in my back
were far from view
but a sullen truth
