408

 discord

in our dulled words

we want more than we give

not the cliff edge the abyss we 

call home

407 we small things

 

waiting when

now is the living

shadow thing


afterwards

our footprints in sand

wait for sea


become small

enough to hide away

be  embers

406. heartbeats

 

our bird died

chilled by frosty nights

in nest still


sleep pulls me

hushes cleverness

ends it all


sky I see

a dark earth I fly

escaping


405 the naked emperor in our midst


words fallen

people now plastic

distancing


hollow me

everything taken

to protect


overwhelmed

spoken to as vile

coffin talk
