Female

The moon pushed the sun down the spiral-staircase of time

Bright neck broken, twisted beyond repair

So now there's only darkness standing there

Arms outstretched

Predatory parasite

Vacant light

From the tunnel of night.

It's colder here since the war, all colours took on a shade of grey

The streams have run slower since you went away

Even the summer is slouching now

Sun not waxing, but waning - walking disappointedly away

Moon with no hope of saving the day

It's time I remembered that I have forgotten

Rainy season beyond sense and reason

Endless sheets of glass

Streets awash with horror

Bullets in the back of summer

Filthy water everywhere

Not saved by incantations

Summer sun always gone

Left my smile all alone back there

Forced to simply sit and stare

At nothing

Nothing

Summer's always gone

Temperance overrule

Temper under ruled

Time - Oh, she's short

Wait - Oh, she's long

Where she went I'll never know

All I know

Is she's gone

Gone?
