aloft

I place you up
where angels
faint

dizzy
celestial
fireflies
flicker
and die

this dream
comes

my world
is clothed
a blossoming
chimera

inside
fitful
silence
pricks

but I buy
the ticket
and quietly
take my seat

moth eaten sweaters
half-written letters

the juice is squeezed
from my effigy

it quenches your
mirth

the pattern
is stretched
wretched
