The Bottom of the Seventh

by V. Blake

i

wish there was more to say.
another deconstruction, perhaps?
no. nothing so self-involved.
then maybe a plea bargain...
egalitarian, and
dressed casually?

you carved these crossbones
out of heart and time.
unbelievable, and yet

that was the way of things:
one empty kiss into another.

closure must be overrated.
happenstance might well be fated
and i wouldn't know the difference.
not one of these angels
got its wings before the whole world
ended.

my love, you deserved so much less:
enjoy it, now you've earned it.

Love the format of this. The bold text was so subtle I almost didn't notice at a first glance. Wish I would of thought of this myself.
