beneath the wind
and echoing
a tasteless kiss
a hopeless bet
will rise above
the wildfire
engulfed
so deep
embrace
the heat
a starless night
a fearless dive
into these
ashes
unsettled, untouched
were these rooms
so empty
with our bodies
inside?
holograms of life
forms of affliction
casting out north
just to feed
this addiction
a victim-less crime
a pointless story
we have no ending
no beginning
we are trapped
inside the images
frozen, bankrupt
that is where i
     stopped running
          once the leaves
                   stopped falling
shameless destruction
doubtless discovery
in the ruins
barred and naked
fueled by numbers
sailing
away
these halls
seem so bright
walking
away
i can't remember
godless creatures
flightless birds
that perch, just high
enough
to feel superior
between earth
and sky
still above
it all
homeless intelligence
lifeless homes
i wander and
wander
and wander
in circles
slow motion
alone
luckless clovers
faceless shadows
uncover, unwrap
feel the breeze
when
the
wind blows.
