A headfull of thunderstorms

A mouthful of glass

A fistful of anger sends me

Sprawling on the grass

A sky full of scattered stars

As sirens gather near

Frostbitten fingertips

It's far too cold to hear

A scream, a cry, a broken reply,

A barely audible warning

What did he say? Who's there? It's fine.

I'll remember in the morning
