Black Shorts

Listen on Soundcloud.

truth be told, you fascinate me.
it’s funny,you
can’t
even
helpit.all the cells and
the tiny moleculeswhich make you, you.comprised
and composed
to become some/one

who smiles downwardwith a heart inwardand a mindtowards the sky.watching you is likewatchingsome black cloaked figure,
restless, unwilling to shed
the dark for fear
the light beneathwould start firesin homes and into the hills,
until thisvery worldwasgone.
