hill a lone onsunday

time drips out my eye and slits knots and crosses on my cheeks of the days I have left here on this ground. air sucks seconds out of my pores mirrors the way honeysuckle spills oudor over the pavements life evolves around my mind because we know no better and lead to believe we stand alone in this head because you never feel sufficient healing from another body. there wont be anyone to hold your balance over the hill when the wind speeds through the strands of black which you believe now cover your weak. there will be no one to tell you you are enough because no one can gather the small linings of this complex mind which layers the life you live. there is no one to hear you wail in the night as others liger under echoes of LED tones over open windows which stare below onto ghostly pavements. no one to touch you like you would because you are overdressed and your skin won't be torn open by any other broken hands. feeble hands. no one to tell you the names of the buildings you study upon you because its no one's concern where you spend your 4pm Sunday on a metal bench parched over the blurred skyline. people surround you but you are so selfishly blind that you forget they exist. you will never awake from this elusive state of mind until the reality of life shakes you to stone then you melt into the sheets and forget what daylight feels like on your damp head. the bench will stay empty and those behind you too one day will disperse into the gravel your mark has been made here and you life here in this life that you had seen in your visions don't know how to feel how to speak how to look or how to behave because who are all these people anyway don't show weakness because your ego is the only thing keeping you strong, hee, present. and you are one in this world that pans out to illustrate the movie you have thought you are dreaming.
