Turquoise Hearts

I looked up and saw the wash of turquoise light,
the people of the land all killing themselves softly,
mixtures of gentlemen smoking their hearts,
the light diminishing, glowering in the corner of my eye.

I mixed the gentlemen into smoke, love,
they came into the light and glowed, and killed.
It was enough for them that mixed up lands can corner light,
if you look up now you'll see the diminished soft turquoise.
