the sunshine
lends a hollowness
to the city
scenery devoid of
any actuality
a fabrication filled
with fallen angels
broken wings
dragging across
shattered sidewalks
as golden forms
slam wetly
every other block
showering dead dreamers
in a phantasmal orgy
of gore soaked wonder

i search frantically
for shelter to hide
from my own simmering
inadequacies as
they embalm my soul
in irrational needs
listening to the coda
as the heartmurmurs fade
lost in silence again
