to burn
and that

the wind is fast
and the ache is sour
in the air.
the cars are rushing by
and there’s a quiet hope
that they are all
headed somewhere.
it is all so
much.
and so little.
all at once.
and
it will take a while.
to let go.
of this all.
but I am starting.

amongst stories
of dark worlds.
and fallen angels.
and scars. that never heal.
there are shades
of light. and stars
shining bright.
waiting for you
to come home

it was 3 am.
some sampha was playing.
and
the earth was still.
and
the rain was dim.
and
every so often
there was nothing that mattered
as much
as
letting it fall
