Description
i want to
leave
this filthy city,
this life behind,
behind these dark walls
and underfoot,
in the pooled concrete
mirrors,
reflecting the cracked webs
of the pavement's (my own) decay.
leave it
behind (closed off),
all the hurt,
it's sitting up there,
weight on these shoulders
like the black heart
of a night's bad deeds,
a cloud of dark gravity,
claws in my shoulders,
drawing out my life.

take it back, you,
the grey promise
in this city's eyes,
the seedy metropolis
full of whispered insinuation
and screaming desire.
Full of the voices (tired questions)
that hide in the shadows
and tempt you at night.

these wet streets i walk,
torn and crying,
wet with the blood
of broken bodies (hearts),
where memories linger
like the cracked ringing
of tired city bells,
churches of lost faith.

this city
breathes,
coughing up blackness
with emphasaemic lungs,
filthy popping veins
encased in tar and senseless glass
whose very purpose (presence)
cuts like razors
into a sensitive heart.

Black night animal,
you stink with disease
unhealthy meanings.
all cares are lost
in this dark hour
of the present (my own).
take away the velvet
and give up the meanings
i can ask no more (weakening),
and daybreak is coming.
