Silence by Jonathon Vann (me)
Silence
Jonathon Vann


Hallowed streetlights reflect off shattered liquor bottles-
scattered like the ancients of the galaxy
across the gutter, their liquid wishes spilt
like the blood of a martyr,
trodden on by countless-faceless hypochondriacs.

Hallowed streetlights reflect off shattered dreams-
that have leaked forth from wallets
across the nation, usurped like cocaine
by the lord-gods of bastardized greenery,
trodden on by countless-faceless societies.

Hallowed streetlights reflect off shattered promises-
dribbling from dishonest fountain pens
across the skin, dousing everything in thieving
kerosene-engulfing all in raging greed,
trodden on by countless-faceless judges.

Hallowed streetlights reflect off shattered -
that once upheld the harmonious vortex
across the , destroyed as clandestine
metallic thoughts churn through divinity,
trodden on by countless-faceless
people.
