Impeccable Illusions

Stepping
dancing
darts
in the shadows
of street lights
stepping
dancing
pacing
piano notes
into
shots of Smirnoff
and another night
stretched into
the melancholy
cobalt
starless night
inking lonliness
and yesterday's sorrows
into
impeccable illusions
in the periphery
of my thoughts
that perfect
powder blue
earth tone's brown
tincture
for dreams' conspiracies
night chaotic
a savant song
deadening into sleep
the pain,
again.
