A Penny Dreadful

shadows
and more shadows
angles of rain
of course
the night
lonely
distant
voiceless night

sad jazz spreads
a soothing, cool salve
over an open wound
bullet?
Knife?
shattered heart?
all hurt the same
shame
she got so close

I'll live

If you enjoyed the time trip,

If you enjoyed the time trip, I have succeeded.
