circuitous journey as infinity breathes down our throat

circuitous journey as infinity breathes down our throat

 

the burden of secrets

many years kept

a yellow heart

calls itself coward

blood red retraction

of something never said

 

just a somber guilt bred

into growing pains

but sometimes we

cannot go back

and the elephant in the room

is no longer capable

 

of sleight of conscience

tricks.
