Black and Blue
Overcast, blotting out the sun
Smoke trailing behind us
As the popping of cans surrounds us
Clad in black and gray we go
Falling in sync
While the simple things in life
Keep us together
Broken beyond belief
We hold each other together
Though masks exist
For the public
Together we leave them behind
No shame
We know each other’s worse
Words spill out
Mixed with smoke
Swirling around us
Deep thoughts
Combined with blue mountain tops
Sitting side by side
Our old world comes into focus
And you say;
“This is us.”
