that hover over the rocks and stones
in front of him

that his life had only become

the boy in the window
carving a broken heart in his breath,
realized the condensation dripping down
was like watching his tears…

to paint his own van Gogh
on the side of another square

with a carnival balloon in hand
and paper banjos playing softly beside the river he walked home,

that sit silent in the corner of an empty room

of his wasted kisses, lost loves,
and the absent knowing
of how to feel something for someone.

a soul torn in half
both cold and broken
takes pictures in the dark
of yesterday’s closing door.
