"good morning, my ray of sunshine?"
ethereal, ethereal, ethereal
unreal, surreal, make-believe
jigs that never saw
from rams that never erred

for you don't really exist anymore
i will tuck myself to bed
am i pretending? enthralled? i whisper
and as the eyes close, my mouth utters:

"God's task, men prevail.

God's flask, men perish.

God's mask, men love."
close your eyes, honey, and you'll slide right back to sleep;
i'd love to read you a fairy tale, but you don't remember any of them right now

i grew diffident as you grew blue
unlike those woebegone children
with expressions crying cries of help
your face stated nothing

mornings and nights went by cryptically
words were replaced by stares
and stares were replaced by dead air
i say "probably" because it doesn't matter;
the minutiae of the minutiae of the minutiae, probably

— The End —
