dull day of grey
sky wanting to rain
but unable to
as if the Gods
have ran out of water
I’ll make a prayer
to them
to find their way

sun’s got the crosses on the curtains going again
I say ‘this is my temple, what are you doing?’
silence follows me, room to room
time for Spotify to remind me
of my rock & roll
time for the day to be lived in
jeans, undies, t-shirt, flip-flops
& love songs

6:20am sky’s a bit grey
G Wayne Thomas-Open Up Your Heart is playing
lyrics go in and out of me like a feeling
I've got used to the lonesomeness in morning
the vastness of the universe says to me everyone is lonely
they just don’t know it
they see the moon and stars, and they seem to stop there

there is rain which is see-through

there are layers of sky he walks through
unable to fall
he is the shepherd of cloud

sits by myself
have nothing to say
to anyone
receive no love
would give kindness
if spoken to
alas, Frankenstein must walk
to the cliff's edge
for the sea breeze
and the sound of
the waves' fury
cold like hearts
the water of
sea creatures
have nothing to say

receive no love

thunder rolls into the house
sky’s like an AC/DC concert
rains moist kiss on the window
zigzag of its window writing
I trace rain with my fingers
along the window
do I understand the rain’s couplets?
do I understand its beliefs?

early morning
