A spec dust to set me free
Sadistic how I'm...

They dream in vinyl, staring with eyes open wide.

glowing screens between us,
a thousand miles wide.

The Longing
...There is always
a dull longing
that goes unlabelled
and hangs a layer or two
below a joy, a pang
somewhere in the soul
that can't be coughed up
