“DYSTOPIA
Dark, early streets and high walls of empty houses a lonesome bird singing a hollow duet with its own echo -
autumn feels like spring once you have lost everything and stand with nothing to hold onto at winter's edge -
walkways glooming in buzzing orange neon light imitating fallen leaves, making the city's concrete jungle a forest -
soon November is here, crawling along the pavement and dulling the grey of the ruins they call buildings -
sudden flickering accompanied by loud buzzing: the lights went out while winter's edge cuts violently through the streets & building cracks -
the bird stopped singing.”

“WEDNESDAY MIRAGE
How far do they reach the rivers of our grieve - far beyond the horizon and deep into a soul;
Suffering can feel like drowning in numbness and being awake for days;
It's roots growing further then our mind can go and make dark a heart that once was full of light;”
