divide and divide and divide
        where $|r|<1$
        and i converge to blank space
a portrait reminiscent
of bullet holes and
        smashed porcelain
i am red and rearranged
with nothing to my name
        and what should be golden
        is instead damning
for the shape left behind is anchorless
and uses artificial sweetener shamelessly
        with angel eyes
        as $i\to 0^{+}$
        the sum of my lies
bleeds like a comet
though only half as bright
