Take cover underneath your derelict day
inside the cage of this home
and thrive in canned laughter, delay my
coming, commanding like youth that was
your ever place. The city stranded into a thick
swell of rain, gush was stone flushed in corners,
distending a shore. It was your extension with
what was given -- this climate. This weather
within the azure's finest crosshair. Take this salt
and ***** fish in brine. Brightest day
a myth under your penance that was I, supine
on the surface unmoving like hue or else
dumb like refusal -- the amount of what for,
patented here a blink couldn't waste in:
a season so squalid you waged inside yourself
contained in a terminal brow of a humdrum day
that was yours solely manufactured from
stalling a refrain, which tide of song
rinsed the corners whole betrayed by access
of us here emptied like a concave
this loss tallied by the gravity effaced
with a high price, take this to your disquiet
and be caught against a registered tragedy
when parted, dearly remembered to a feigned
retrieval -- further your stasis, then after this
a halt lesser than force when found who we
are when we find how things are done.
