Today before the Skies conspired to Rain our Sorrows back to Earth
I thought I saw a wrinkled ceiling swallow time I knew before
We were dying We were calm We were all and on and on.
We forgot the past pretense We've forgone the post caress
We entail what we have done and we pretend this never ends.
We presuppose we live in rhythms but
we know better in the end.
I think a lot about these years
more often than you, I'm sure.
I wonder when the bricks will come
falling like meteors
falling like children on the pavement
black and adhesive to the teeth
we will one day alone or together.
I wish I could elucidate these things
but I cannot. I wish I could end it
all here but I would not.
I wish things happened
differently but
what the fuck?
We know that lives have been spent unfairly
and understand the cards we've dealt.
We've properly borne our basic burdens
and refused
we've refused
so foolishly refused
to answer our own
loud cries for help.
