The fallen heart
Sighs and cries
As it beats slower

The fallen heart

Sighs and cries

As it beats slower

Dull greys and whites
On the river plain
Shuffling with energy
Shuffling with morass
Slow moving and swift
Distant, weak, strong
Watching out on the river
Amongst the low trees

Twitter me that and this
On your social media web
I pity you, you fool
On your electronic wave
As your eyes grow weak
And you day becomes night
In the clackety-click of
Your updated friendlessness

a soft turn of the head
eyes drifting to the side
a smile that carries a weight

the swirl of the last glass
the clock pressing onward
the pressure of a void
ending the softened night
as the walk home begins
