Retreat Ahead

Retreat Ahead

Don't record those figures
when you try to blink
Don't record those shadows
when you go to sleep
Walk instead down to the bridge
where the ruins of the buildings
grind their teeth
against the sky

And it's swarming through the very air
A wound that simply won't close up
Shopworn and injurious
Thinning out the neighbourhood
