Nocturnal Blues


Oh, The Bringer of Bad News!

I'd turned a blind eye to you
or so I thought
I had my back on you, for sure
my ears were shut too
my body wrapped in an invisible cloak
of ignorance
that they said is bliss
my thoughts glued in deep silence
my fears galvanized in masks of strength
and a smile
that should never go amiss

The Bringer of Bad News, still
you managed to get through me
caught a person, paranoid
with all her defenses up
a skeptic, by default
expecting the worst


you caught her flicker of hope
while she was unawares


Now The Entropy of the Neutralized Moon
is feeling betrayed
by her own sticky Turbulence


nothing is making sense
