The Liar’s Ball

Ted Jackins

Tinted
fatigue poetry,
seven months
in a cloud
of spent embers
and a slow
diet of
faded rainbows.
Swallow my eyes
into my thoughts,
taking moments in
as hourglass rotations,
and spitting out
abused rhymes and
ugly rhythms
through the aging
microphone of
indifference.
My last lines
before finale
bedtime stories
will only contain
the ideals of a losing
and lost dream,
a simple headache
following closely
behind a self inflicted
migraine of desperate
music.
