displacement, the basement, isolation cemented
relented six stairs down
naked bulb, tired lungs, tired eyes, crooked thumbs
not up but sideways for now.

the rise and fall and gentle drops
precipitation never stops
i pulled the clouds inside me and
now it's raining, raining again.

cried in my sleep last night for the first time.
dying while i live, living where we die.
futility abounds, futility abounds, futility abounds
futility abounds six feet deep beneath the coffee grounds.

these ashtrays are volcanoes now
apartments burn in red and brown
salt the earth and never grow
notice ashes look like snow

falling and just sitting there
more trash than the county fair
the smell of crowds, a burning nose
a smell familiarly morose

half-a__ed attempt only to fail
half-a__ed reflection ghostly pale
you're waving while i disappear
ashes cementing my fear
