Today the summer crawled with aching nerves, |
|
A shade of deepest blue in August's verse, |
|
The lines draw out and trace this restless town, |
|
That laid our bloodless thoughts into the ground, |
|
Today... |
|
Worn old stains bloom red to grey, |
|
Cold hands strain to feel the light of day. |
|
Warm clear glass, the sun dressed in white, |
|
Mourn days passed, faint ties held tight. |
|
Today the air grew cold with aching nerves, |
|
The frayed and splintered grains of summer's hearse, |
|
The lines draw out and trace this reckless town, |
|
That raised a bloodless ghost out from the ground, |
|
Today... |
