starting
to unravel
the score
after
the whistle blows
blow me away
whistle a tune
and
blow me out
like a candle
drifting
away
on the midnight
black flow
eyes wide
wild animal
peering out
from
behind the thickets
of my own face
fracture and fall
apart with a shiver
deja vu
because fate
makes our friends

nailed
with a flowering
branch
a broad slash
night black
nothingness
crumpling
inward
like a flower
closing
for the night
body melting
rendered like tallow
broken hearts
lay around
me like
fallen leaves
like confetti
at a wedding.

I only see one problem, and that's that rhythm is lacking the second h. I wouldn't usually pick at something like this, but it mars the excellent work you have produced.

Good Job.
