calls to broken fast.

1.
crumbs swallowed my throat
saliva crying with guilt
tonight
another promise
submitted to self-determined fate

2.
and we don't know if it was because
the weight was too heavy underwater
or the lighted fool popped too far into the sky
to fight

3.
mismatching notes of a funeral march
made us all cry
our hearts drummed extra beats
for the ones who passed away
quiet

4.
the remembered will be the forgotten
the now and forever never
the words that were sucked dry by hunger
enjoyed their pride in their short highs of life
disappeared in the moment

5.

when zero turned one

and one more

well i never recall these things anyway
i promise you were born to die
and the second death
will be better than the first.
