Orange

An orange sky attacked

My sleeping eyes.

-

Another day

Starting with a sigh,

-

‘You drift from day to day and

Years go by…

Then,

A change comes.’

-

These frozen bones

Feel so alone

-

Beneath the stretching,

The sheltering, sky

-

Broken bodies asking questions

They can’t help but wonder why

-

‘The bubbling

Bubbling

Bubbling’ pavements

-

Melt beneath the sun

Things just haven’t felt the same since

Their burdens grew by tonnes.

-

Suffering in silence,

Ask for help from

No-one,

-

Those same cycles,

Recognisable now,

There’s no place left to run.
