Shadows of Wannabes

Bitter sweet memory
of watching those favorite
Sweet rusted remedies
Shadows of wannabes

All of the others
Leaving the night
Embeded redemption
Paint in the fight
Mother's invention
Spreading the light

And the voices sing
those muttered dreams
Clinging submissions
of a Red Hood king
Inflated serenades
Choking
Amid all those
other things
