assumption
presumption
gurgling
slops over trough.
arrow arcs and strikes pride square in the chest.
fallen from high and mighty delusions of grandeur.
fantasy pops as vacuum implosion
tinkle and gone.
shimmering air marks the passing of a splendid dream.
fleeting respect
fleeing servitude
escaping hypocritical escapades.
slippery slope of icy sickle.
cleaving rough hewn hope in halves.
drawing board backed against at quarter to.
beside and beset on all sides enclosed forwarn of fee ferry conductor collecting toll.
hidden sweeps breath from lips tithing time and forsaken keepsakes.
heirloom
swoon
looms gloomily
sullied in sundays finest hour.
cracks spread across chiseled face of finely manicured elegance.
smooth and molten
flow frozen as a transparent portal.
shadows travel in herds
liquid procession
hinting at posession
