Sleep tight for me, I'm gone

absorb

messages whispered into my ear
are never fully taken

with importance, respect, or philosophy
when wallowing in guilt

tighter and tighter the drifter falls
closer to the beacon

drawn so slowly to the lies
when swallowing the silt

photographs yellowed in passing years
a window blows in, shaking

to the floor, so naked and cold
with varnish they melt
away.
