Night Dust

As I walk the glistening halls of night
my bones sing of calcification.
Fluid thrums from the caverns
beneath my teeth,

poker machines lolly-gagging tunes
play in the spaces my throat
tries to swallow.

This is a new kind of dark,
where one day melts into another
in a way you just can't be bothered with.

The second stanza is a real jolt in this piece, the first flows with your usual beautiful word selections, but the ending was unexpected, and I really liked that about it.

mmm, the ending is very flat I think. Although that's the mood being expressed, I'm not sure I like it much. It seems very abrupt to me
