Fall Through the Cracks

i lost you in between the cracks of the soul
somehow you slipped from my fingers and down
into my chasms where it is abysmal and cold

She used to be a mortician you know She can't be all of those things, Lydia! But!

At early noon, Charlie trekked through weeds and fallen logs, Chanting all Lydia had told him: Don't listen to what she says, don't take her candy when offered, and don't ...
