i can hear your hesitant silence
louder than an
atom bomb
and the sliverous little
glances
that weave between the
minds
i counted them
once before
when the wind
blew out your
lashes,
when your
fumbly words
and jumpy fingers
gave away
all
your secrets.
show me the string
that unravels the thing
ive been
hunting all day
in search for -
the mirror in the rain
that collects all the pain
for gain
that
ive been waiting
my life
for.
'bunch of student
pollutants,
faces sooted
in black,
fingers
grimey and sticky,
snatching the little
i got.
all ive ever wanted
has been a
simple enough dream:
to be happy
and sappy
with my lover,
my cream,
to play my part
and finish out
what i
started,
to exist on this earth -
serene
but there's this itch
i can't get
to succumb to a
verdict.
this is it.
are you coming
or going?
