Deeply hued skies
lossgriefnaturecitytimelove
Deeply hued skies
Blend neatly
Into blue hearts
With barely a division bell
To mark the transition
From one medium
Into another
Hollow thoughts
Retreat into a succession
Of empty halls
Devoid of humanity
Barely an echo of life
A pion of worthless
Sub-atomica
A shadow
Of belief withheld
From public scrutiny
Hidden behind
A picture window facade
Designed to
Capture the difference
Between inner
And outer chaos
As grief registers
A presence
Too deeply fathomed
History is a
Struggle to keep up
With expectation
Memories are weighed
And bartered
In exchange for
A little peace
Out of mind
Out of time
Empty of sorrow
Whilst the world turns
Back on itself
Folding the edges
Of humanity
Into neat bundles
The unrecyclable
Untouched by hope
Ready for disposal.
