Crowd

silence sweeps into the night
scarred, it runs away
the strangers take over again
the crowd of light
dims the darkness
the human shadow stands alone
without the sky

slithering sights
swirling vastness
broken glass, twisted wrappers
howling crowds screeching past
colours so ordinary, clog the mind
empty souls collide
.
Slivering misfits
Meagre and brittle
Patience and war
Chants and speakers
Of paragons worth a dime
useless endeavours
of crime and of rights

patience and moods
freeing shackles of voids, misery
look into the voice of patience
the mist gathers dust
the whole street empty
