The Mourning Sun
written by: James Dennis Casey IV
@LouisianaJames
burns my eyes
on a dead-end street
paved with angel bones
lost again
come what May
in April
i cry the broken
clown man blues
shadows
crawl around
my shattered mind
shards slice their feet
painting thoughts
crimson red
loss of self
carnage upon a torn page
within a book called life
all I do is dream
and lie to myself
about better days
here
in the mourning sun
