Poem: "Vox"

"Vox"

the leeches and the damned
are coming out of
the woodwork
tonight

as you lie in bed
sleep evades you
as fickle as
the wind

the window is open
as the cool air
forces you awake

the moonlight
illuminates your face
look up to the sky

as the star streaks
in the quiet expanse of sky
as you reach for me

I am no more

and you are left
in a fetal position
on the floor

as a feeble scream
barely escapes
from the depths
within

never heard

this former beauty
and its stirring drama
as the phone rings

the last words you hear:

"it's fucking gone."
