come closer we speak in greys and binaries
coffee whilst the morning gales wail
in this grey expanse feelings matter lives matter
the river slows to watch our ritual
a head or husk to sacrifice calm the river gods
shadow on the sidewalk inhales deeply from cigarette and holds the silence for eternity
a cold gust snaps the spine and bends morale
piecing the snippets of this morning’s ginko
warm air watching bodies unravel
