Quiet conversations

with solitary place settings.

Anxious laughs

during imaginary feasts.

Fractured smiles

sipping empty glasses.

Lonely tears

drenching scarlet cheeks.

 

Fancy conversations

with gossiping lips.

Coarse laughs

polluting steady breaths.

Suspicious smiles

contorting simple truths.

Arbitrary hands

pinning her Scarlet D.
