his legs a handful too much to crawl
beneath the unfaithful dawn.

cymbals ricochet dissonance among passengers
trying not to notice movement between one world and another

you can be in this space and not live within its shackles,
not run its blood, not inhabit its host.

are you going
going to be gone
gone to the words
words you have borne

a vertebrae a lone
line of littered sober sins
the cracking sun-bone
blinding every of its kin.
