overcast

in this refuge

downcast

and i would turn my hand, and reach to strike

like that light

in overcast sky

and i am downcast

and as the ground was wet

my mouth would dry

in the monsoon, the downpour as i am downcast

time wound,

and like that light,

my mind would burst

quick to lose count

to unhinge, with screws loose

on a time clock

to unwind,

to lose,

i am under overcast

i leave my hand downcast
