december
-
At once, everywhere,
the loss of a stillness.
The shattering of water,
the drawing out of rain.
-
silhouettes
rushing through the grey,
made blunt by the drizzle.
the inscrutable concrete,
unfolding in lines.
-
the continuing streets
and blurring expectations.
the remains of the moment,
the persisting time.
awash,
in a reminder of smallness
and flesh.
