Happy half-moon smiles
Trapped in glass cages
Sickening souvenirs.

Bash my head against the glass
Fracture the wooden frame,
Drive in
   Drink in
       Sink in.

From paper pulse,
Sink into sepia ink
Flowing to the heart

From heart, rush
Through veins
To nails

Scratching my nails
Until they are splinter dust,
I etch

Years of memories
Onto your tribute,
Your grave.
