Walking home

WALKING HOME (D A D F G E)

The stars came crashing down. What felt like the hundredth time. I would’ve jumped out the window if there was one.

The road turned to water. A heavy, heaving river. We didn’t drown, but are we any better off?

I’m walking home. Day giving in.

Stalking shadows. My feet are bare and it’s getting cold.

 

The sky is empty now. I think we broke its heart. I would’ve given it back if I could.

This must be drowning. Though we could never really know. We could never understand.

I’m walking home.

Dimming, fading.

Day giving in.

Sinking into its seat.

Stalking shadows.

They skate down the street.

My feet are bare.

And it’s getting cold.
