the earaching grind of teeth pulling at the safety pin(of the grenade)
a dead ball cornered in a blinding fog at the foot of the horizon
broke in half
one side lost the otherside astray
the umbilical cord in the middle dangling
in the way

I’ve never applied for residency
here, the native have never counted upon, nor acknowledged my existence
perhaps, here and there in the shadows
lost in the dark(of night)
to them I’m not much of a surprise

I’m scrambling
to pick up the pieces of lost time
scrubbing them, hang them up, to after folding them neatly inside a draw called life
there, they quietly lay
a tumulus
