i scream
you scream
we all scream
for answers
and the void
fluctuates
menacingly aloof
no hint of
a ripple
to justify
existence

i spread
this miasmal
semipoetic
wailing like
bird shit
spreads the
wildflowers
a necessary
ugliness to
reaffirm all
the splendiferous
beauty in
swaying blooms
amongst the
billowing trash

a snowglobe
of urban decay
rust flakes
floating on
tepid currents
the bloated corpses
of long dead dreamers
dance like seaweed
in the abandoned
edifices to
an idyllic past
of elegaic delusion
