Party

Cold and sour blood 
of the covenant 
gets spilled on shirts 
as the dance floor hums 
with the feet of 
the people gathered 
for a feast 

Do you feel guilty 
about keeping the dead butterflies 
under the lid? 
Storing the poor lifeless 
for the pleasure of seeing patterns.

You stand aside 
from the crowds rhythmic rituals; 
a beat but no sense of rhythm 
because she sits at home 
looking at the moon 
out of her window, 
reminded of you.
