splintering across barren skin
mirroring itself for every second
shock filled morsel
a plentiful arrangement
set aside, for my being to devour
a slow strung trance
of resonance
and renewal
cry along the sidewalks edge
the minutes feel much longer here
for once i feel alive in here
nothing to grip
no needing to care
surroundings soaked
conscious and disengaged
as the darkness carries
tightly a glimmer
in that instant i can remember, and
i wish it would rain for 30 nights
carry it's flow
through the month of September
lines start to blur
and colors they fade
but not away
just within
a beautiful wreckage
i can't stop staring
eyes fill with the same elixir
i am pinned with this persuasion
i never want to leave
this release from my fragmented mind
a drop, a scream
a dose of freedom
i wish it would rain all night
so i could sleep
and be awakened with the part of me
that years ago
drifted out to sea
i wish it would rain until
i was drowning in absolution
i wish it would rain
until
i
was
drowning.
