Different Species
Morose, hollow cheeks
Crumbs blown by the wind,
An unknown badge on an old cap,
Hiding brown wisps, flattened to the skull.
Bare walls, ugly colour.
Skin worn thin
Sunken eyes on a radiating screen
Faltering fingers on keys.
Hating breath, cracking voice,
Tung on constant display
A glance to the window,
A bird caws.
Plastic cap on fresh laces,
Rustling by my side,
My soul recoils,
A man, the death of god.
A faultless bottle by his side.
