Distant Storms

the frigid corners chase the wind. all sober lies and failing zippers. the courtesy of flesh not withstanding.

sour bread and stale candies in the evolution of expectation. the hours fumble with our desires. fraying baskets and leaking buckets solve their losses with empty promises and seldom kisses.

the empty spaces overtake. the moments diminish. miles. so many miles. all placebo and delusion. creases in the map that drown us. places we don't remember that won't let us forget.

the vague monsters that color us. with their beautiful poisons.

choices fall like dominoes.
