vi. rust

how upsetting,

he would contend

when his thoughts

were too vulnerable

to notice

the empathy stains

against cold steel

and his

knowing gaze

misted

iron and silver

(both shades of grey

when eyes lost their

twinkle).

wet skies at noon

were always the best

when it was time

to slowly

turn

to

rust.
