heroin strings

by Alexis D. - Virgo

underneath the buzzing sunshine
of an autumn sky,
she has a leery sense of 
forgotten highways,
where itchy tongues
whisper stories of
regret
bleeding from his
guitar ...

she lingers there,
beneath the velvet softness 
of ballads
once written,
that could even bribe
the gods...

and it is true
every color has the scent of itself

and soon..
winter comes,
cracking voices
turning everything white and gray
making everything more
difficult to see
because...
reflections are glaringly bright...

especially when they are your own.
