Negatives

1.
Utterances of light reflected from one's face
become revealed secrets,
or silent gestures that elucidate desire.

Intolerable ecstasy amidst the mire of this life,
a mute tear, mine, and testament to inner salinity,
wanders slowly to a pool of darkened space.

2.
Three black demons, each unnamed,
Seven lepers, once untamed.
Guilt leaps out to strike their will,
Rage inspires desire to kill,
While Grief just dumbly stares.

3.
Bride with lucid teeth,
candled-cake and vodka tonic,
Veil and baby's breath.

Groom, shimmeringly dark tuxedo,
leather bound bible, microphone,
and the nature of his band.
