A Little Absynth Never Hurt Nobody

never partisan to being
i'm back nonetheless

the just assassins
affirmed me
burning

after the grave
your acts upon
my body

your unceasing eulogy
creeps on my mind

i got your shoes in the mail
wore them a short while
they revised but did not protect me

being apart is just another way of being
together
or have i misread your laces?

ah, you still fixate
eliminator of my dumbshow
more politic it is, then
