White Cloak

White Cloak

written by: Gabriel

 

My summer smells like deadlines,
for lifelines kill themselves
sometime near spring,
with the serrated rust
of misconstrued martyrdom,
they wither fall
into a ghost who lingers
flaking slow
among the fallen ribbons,
former clothes
torn and thrown away
for the sheets of winter
