no consequences

turn your back, stroll away
seeing you go, 
completely unscathed 
conscience clean, 
heart in check 
no consequence 
from this brief trek 

objects are closer 
than they appear 
written on the right side mirror 
my love, my heart, 
indifferently scoffed
stand under the falls, 
and it all rolls off 

what was the wonder 
that you saw on this stage?
this drama macabre 
with shadows of rage
crestfallen and 
sidelined, they 
observe all

ambiguous tastes
that pitch me in hell
in the dark of night 
when feelings swell 
how long I stay?
it's hard to foretell
I just barely, crawled away
