d a w n

colorless agony/ this heatwave is/ enchanting/

birds overgrown/ a meadow of weeds/ and the sinking of toes/ crushed sand in empty/ colloquial mouths/

are you a stranger/ to the scent of/ doom?/ are you thinking/ of my/ bottomless daybreak/ words?/

god/ i have prayed/ mercilessly/ for a day like this/ to end
