without

 

I devour the static rain
savouring its equilibrium
when I'm warm and fed
and can relish in the comfort
of eventuality

the hidden stars
grey sunsets
and obscure graffiti
on the neighbour's fence
"FUCK IT ALL" becomes
beautiful without you
but I'm
marrow stewing
in dead bones looking
for a break to exit
looking for a break

I used to think people just feared
what they couldn't understand
but I realise fear
is a potent brew
when you can dismantle
beam by inauspicious beam
the clarity of a present and a future
without
