through dawn i stumble, singing to bustling streets through clenched teeth, through wavering eyelids i am the sum of the sleep i haven't got. i was lost, and couldn't and can't tell if this day pervades, but; lost like this, lost undercurrent, while caverns of cloud subsume, i can take this.
in an instant, lucid life is a dream i carve whilst awake. i'd never seen vanishing as perfectly as this platanus leaf beneath rain, beneath me.
the sky dissolves as i breathe, choking on city air.
at the end of everything, i draw out short straws. indisciplined, the spaces between my heartbeats become, to curl up and writhe and scream aloud your name, to take down the whole **** coast on the single point we intersect,
with hope;
to fall into your life, like slow leaves to footpaths.
