once was [ ] angry [ ] sad [ ] neither

shrink the video
to a single pixel
in a cloudless sky

its forest crackles in the night
the relief of infinity
attenuated

throw more video on the fire
the sparks might eventually
warm me

but I’d rather my fingers
were here in your heart
tugging your centuries apart

vainly searching for meaning
for a few seconds at least I’d
feel the warmth of your blood while it lasted
