look out.A Poem by Alpris
once again I have turned and began to walk back to my window
that window slathered in dust like permanent smog
poisonous; so that i'm drawn once again to its smear
somehow? glass with magnet's kiss.
I will peer out again, expectantly ;
through cracks that allow sunshine
I am always looking for the bright side....
but not necessarily looking for anything in particular.
My eyes will travel over the townsfolk
but not looking for anyone in particular.
i am definitely looking for something
and someone,
and I know if I don't find it quickly
the rusty clock will die with a painful whinge.
that always hurts my f*****g ears; threatening a fate so far.
my voice is dripping in misery
there's something there
but my words are as dry as an eagle's wing.
don't you know that? i am alone in a tower and going mad.
