the sky seems so low
does that mean i'm closer to heaven than i was before?
grey enmeshed amongst the white embedded in the blue
a threatening sign; symbolic foreboding?
flowers hang wantonly,
splashes of pink and lilacs against the lush greens.
traffic noises, sparrow cries, children mucking
there is some consoling comfort in this dreary inertia.
i hear my heart pounding despite this inactivity-
a consequence of a scrupulously-fed caffeine addiction.
but somewhere in this mad edgy flurry
lies a heart numb and still.
