Black Diamond

The world looks sideways when or if you don't pay attention
If your necklace was as black as her's, you'd see things like that
The clear sky was never as blue, the grass quite green
a hesitant glimpse up and then to the left
revealing the skateboard prophesy of a drifting saint.
That's it! A skeleton hand
reached for something of yours; certainly not your soul.
That black diamond, causing arrhythmia, ensconcing your hopes
within "hatred, fuck, pain, desire"
teenage words of a bank cashed statement
Despoil but deposit
My fading embers are quite cold.
Don't try just
com-pre-hend
