Oubliette

Where did it go?

We lit up all the dead-end space and time

Promises of direction that they couldn't keep

Even dogs gave up rib-thin gaunt

Every wave

Fists warped by godless heat

I'm a stray

Where did it go?

All summer

Bite marks

Rainbow kiss

Dog days

A keepsake

Lost faith

Dog days

This is the season you made hard to breathe

This is the season you left behind a million mysteries

Where did it go?

All summer

How far down below

Bite marks

Rainbow kiss

Dog days

A keepsake in the dark
