Day of Mourning

©Stacie Sandall



The soft amber horizon
flutters faintly between night and light,
furling in the annealing morning.
Jagged thoughts lose fluency,
and hot grains of mistrust survive.
The smile bestowed only a silky veneer.
Pale hands grieve
as eyes photograph epitaphs.
Each sigh paints a picture.
Ambient tongues sleep in quiet mouths.
The smell of aged flowers
steals the afternoon away.
