Open Flame

in between the hours
of the early morning
exaltation knocking on the doors
I'd rather keep closed
I'll find a way to skin the rabbit in the hat
blood won trophy
clean on my hands

open flame
burns an open book
I can't ignire around you

in-fighting hours of the early morning
my better self exhuming etherized
start to unwind
new moon heavy
a foot in limbo
expectations are not so alive

smoldering
metaphysical
read into
what you need to
