3/14/18

Blurry trees
Bright lights
Burning stars stand still

Among the chaos
Crossing legs
Hunched back
They stay

They stay
As the morning dismay
That won't go away
And drags upon the brick floor everyday

The one that shines the brightest
Is the one dying in crisis
Pollution clogs the sky
Smog leaving the clouds dry

Lights sting so close
Eyelids pulled by gravity
But don't move slightly
Like the stars

Eyebrows pinched
Pulled up by threads
But dragged down by the temples
All that's felt is dead

Food that's old
Rusty growing mold
Covered by cologne
Just a passenger
Yet it feels so alone

Heat expels from the fingertips
Growing into the palm and to the wrist
How could something so smooth
Feel as cold as this?
