Out across the distance, they'll be knotting up loose ends and taking names from strangers like suggestions, fading into sunrise friendships
Waiting room. A dreary day. Silence couched in thumb-smeared detail
What they found was fresh enough to stop the gap between smudged-out Fridays
To remove their ceilings. To rip off old, dead scabs.
Listen, now, I'm not angry, I only need some air. I've bloodied hands against these walls and I'm done doing all of my dying here So pick me up at 9. Let me leak into the night and help me saw through my tethering lines.
Here in this apartment, sit and simmer in the dark and bevel out the edges of a batch of nights 'til this one's dulled out, hand-safe.
Waiting room. An Autumn night swiftly rose beyond these four walls.
All I've got are window panes to lean my arms and glance out at rainfall.
As it falls asleep and snow flakes drop like old scabs
Listen, pal, I'm just hungry; d'ya wanna grab a beer? I've made fast friends with these four walls but I'm done doing all of my dying here Let me out into the night, where the weather can't decide-- --between cold rain and lazy, half-assed snow.
