Rumbles the Rain

Silence meditates in the skeleton city

A place where metal mountains

grasp for an iron sky

Only to crumble. Crushed by the dome

of earth which rumbles, rattles

and shudders away all that sings green.

A rain falls and makes white noise

of the spaces between. I dart

from cover. To cover, coat hissing.

In this place where acid cascades from the stars

styled as sheet music printed in fades.

Shades of colour fill the deep breath of silence.

Inside the pauses, I am hugged by silver bones.

I don’t feel so alone.
