Prezarm
at the end of the night I entered the empty warehouse
high walls and rows of broken glass
the ceiling is a tangle of chipped tiles
the rain filled the ground with puddles
pigeons bats mice and cockroaches
acrid smell of something abandoned
the perspective of this kind of death is linear
rises in the dirty floor and climbs through the wooden columns
lands on the shears that support the crumbling ceiling
then fix it on the wall stain
the stain is pareidolia that resembles a wound
torn heart and deep pain
a little below a crack reveals irons and bricks
building-life skeleton with sealed fate
the dark of the planet is born in the cut of the solid tissue
must be a phase of pain that creates the physical gap
grows over time and spreads like lichen
it will overlap until it forms a black block
I just need to let go of this vision
seek refuge from the enlightened earth
a home that contains the comfort of being loved
so i go back to what i am
but the little part of me that smiles
knows I don't even like myself anymore
