steal from night
again run
a distance
as far as home
refrain from ever
being gone too long
pianist plays soul
slow like
drizzle aching
to meet earth
i am always holding
precious moments
in breaths tiptoeing
through madness
and midnights
and back alleys humming
songs
for the breaking of silences
always drowning
in something
preening
empty shells
these stone cold eyes
stare obliviously
shine
pianist plays soul
slow like drizzle
i drench stretch
my arms to catch
every leaving breath
of mine
