Crave

In Hell

All is well

Or so they say

Not that they can tell

Anyway

For the day is no darker

Than yesterday

Or the day before

When the static horizons

Fenced in

Inflected in-curiosity

And hushed the silence

Into a conspiracy

Against the better judgement

Of my better half

In Heaven

All is well

Or so I say

You’ll do better

Than believe deflected words

And blurred lines

Or run after

The forbidden fruit

That my words crave
