Lightnings the dense blackness of foliage Rain breaks the seams of the house and Scurries like a mouse down the carpetless stair. We who, exposed, have no childhood to fall back upon Have learned to accept whilst withholding Judgement To trust whilst expecting treachery, have known The imbecile mask hard as flesh. Coming upon the unfamiliar with recognition The greasy red of traffic lights reflected in the road And headlines conspiring in the gutter With the very silence that echoes sound Confused and articulate—In A breath of wind Our legacy The howl of a skidding tyre.
