arqios

the other side of the coin

 

 

tossed in the upward of the downside

flips and turns, glinting in the sun

what will it be today, latch key kid?

as you step onto that creaking, broken

\"home sweet home\" frayed and faded

fading still

 

buffeted in the upper bunk of insomniacs

\'dis funk sho n\'all\' can see what\'s coming

down its warren, rabbit holes abound

as you edge along a swinging tight wire

don\'t look down, sharps and broken glass

waiting still

 

scratches on top corners of empty pages

scribbles and riddles eventually forming

thoughts of a house Time won\'t ever build

shards spray and sparkle, catch waning light

fragmenting images take on moonlit flight

flying still
