Scene 291: Under Rusting Clouds

You sang the melodies
in the copper fields
rusting apart beneath your toes
those tones,
oh those tones
rustled apart beneath my prose.

I wrote the stories
in those copper plains
blowing about around me
as I lie,
oh, you lied
blowing smoke from your teeth

We composed those musicals
drowning in the copper dust
billowing up, surrounding us
as I prayed,
oh, you preyed
upon all my sustenance
