Ashes
Black and Heavy
Mixed with water
liquid concrete dreams
Breathe it all in
The filth in the air
Yes, breathe it all in
all of it.
Ashes
sooty powdery
Volcanic ash
fall through the sky....
Cover me up
just like the ash that fell over
pompei.
Like a winter storm
but instead of being cold
and melting when it touches flesh
it burns
holes,
skin,
smell.
Its all black.
Breathe it in
breathe it all in
ashes.
Rain
raining, its always raining
mixed with ashes
black and heavy
breathe it all in
and
drown your soul
in liquid concrete.
