care

saw a moon today
subtly hiding in
daylight

no one would have noticed
but she floated
heard her heartbeat
ricochet in water

cleansing
clearing
what?
whose pain?
his mouth swallowing the tears?
suppressing his anger?

hurting others with words meant for self
-i do not want you to care-

is that why
her crystal caught
a prism of sunlight
from blue to red
against the canvas of her bed?

a prison of colours
hiding a tear
that smothered his smile
