Her Dreams Were Silent Films

Dusk
on a sunsetting shag
Between aluminum walls
Where a vinyl heart shattered

the mokingbird sings
      Detached
From a reality once carved
Into the chests of the
                          Gutter gods
Once speckled with stardust
  And stamps
      And syringes

Scream loud, O bloated one
Painted ice by Dreaming
Hold hands with the shag
    if not with redemption

It's not like your glazed eyes
Ever believed in anything
   
      Anyway.

Author notes

I dunno. I just got this still and beautifully tragic mental image the other day and felt the need to write about it.

Please tell me what you think
