#foil
You're a different place. It's understanding. It's home. It's pure bliss.

I could weep for joy
A pass between the ceiling stints, ivy sinews, and unhinged bricks. The broken glass still shifts and cracks in narrow steps of a time passed. Streams of oil, weaving between, to a seamless, tar and fissure, smoke clouds pummel, passing stranger, surging street lights, to the waves of. On the edge of the coming rain, consignment times as beauty lies.

As Beauty Lies
I sat looking at my tree Its scratched branches held But tinsel fashioned from old foil "Grease still smelt" Hunger, Wanting, Warmth "Needed in the cold morning" Bottle caps, coloured adorned the End of bare branches. If I smelt each one Flavours of ill afforded treats, The stomachs, roar as in a pride Of hunger, growling at others to show their need, "Sammy's Sarnies" "We wait on empty promises" Then the door "ajar" wrapped bread  throw out "As if feeding rabid animals" "The door slams shut" We scatter, "Each for themselves" "There is no honour in hunger" Mouldy, Stale, Relishing That others would throw out, "This is the Christmas on the street" "Our trees of bare branches" "Adorned with found things"   Now added to the huddling circles The caps release faint odours As the foil burns, I taste in the air what was, That now burns too keep each warm in this pride Of the street, tomorrow our  roars will Once again roar loud, but tonight It is about only keeping warm.
