happy star wars day

tunnel down to where it’s warm

to embers glowing

almost cooled

spent but not quite overdrawn

assonant with meaning

un-signed, evoke the feeling

if no-one hears it’s empty

is the author’s death suspended

could there be a happy ending?

or is broken verse just shitty prose

a rose renamed still just a rose

(allude to christ, when he arose)

parenthesis to keep you guessing

break the meter

beg the question

falling into comfy cadences

arresting my descent
