make her make her

she lies incomplete

lies on the floor

somewhat butchered

but her eyes remain

daggers lit in

sunlight

but her face trembles

as a mirror i avoided

for two years while

i was dead

not dead

as i'd thought

but dreamed with

dusty morning eyes but

at night

with limbs thinner and

black

hiding shadows under

footsteps

heard in

the tunnels

she left

before me

pressed deep in

the eyes a

soft grandeur

in black ovals

where

i died as well again

and will die

for awhile

i dreamed

of rickety towers descending

downwards though

land

until able to

be jumped on

and awoken with

raucous stomps
