He coughs.
She holds the animals.
He, once again, coughs.
And things start getting worse
as she begins worshipping dirt,
and he starts willing it all to dirt.
He laughs.
She stares him down.
He laughs at the black.
Face melting down.
That's how she smiles.
It's killing him. All the while,
each one's becoming
more unbecoming.
He balks.
She calls him on his faults.
Who's more an adult?
Here come the killers
of everything sacred,
their own selves to blame
for all the pain.
Body bag fillers.
One more delivered.
Petty captains of fate
came just to late.
He kept his secret,
but she isn't done yet.
Who knows who will prevail?
Oh! What do you know?
Nobody lets go.
Nothing is done.
Except for the mister
and his cosmic sister,
in neighboring signs
and changing times.
She plays the keeper,
but he knows it deeper.
She keeps only herself.
Costs a life pretty,
but neither one's ready,
and here comes the storm.
Oh! What do you know?
Nobody lets go.
Everything, nonetheless, gone.
