Again Tonight Poem by Kyle Schlicher

echoes
of
lost
forgotten
words

hammering the past home

visions
of
fading
distorted
faces

breaking mirrors one at a time

trust
in
nothing
in
no one

maintaining control is vital

truth
lies
false truth
baby words
spoken
first

no doubt reality sucks

the
chest
cavity
exploding
upon
contact

the heart seeks an escape route

from
alternative
out
of
focus
perception

the lay of the land is unforgiving

the
night
comes
on gingerbread toes
