crawl under the finest rags and deem ourselves: royals
fickle and shrivelled morsels that go by the name of dreams
winter a slip in the wrong direction and the world laughs
dear paper cup you’ve been warned of these tears
we’ve answered to the photograph with a cynical cry

wraith-like storm clouds deliberate our misfortune
been dreaming recklessly and for a good reason
dusk we salvage the kind word from the storm of emotions
