you're too grey and this town has failed


time grabs me by the ankles
and turns my cheek away
from moments like
these
time twists my soul into distortion
paints my fingernails red
redredwine and
calculators in your eyes
time
twirls my fingers and whispers
that the trees will die and we
we will laugh at the moon
when there's no more holes
to hide in


i smile and turn to the girl next to me;

good morning miss sally lightfoot
i guess we weren't made for loving

humanity wasn't made for loving...

we kill... and the poets, a different breed, watch in horror...

great write here.

Wonderfully enigmatic: "Calculators in your eyes" I especially like, and the surprise ending.
