Tomorrow’s Man

Concrete breaths mark the next phase,

stone upon stone laid roughly in the earth.

—

Pathways to the stars run only through water,

where twinkling ripples melt repeatedly.

—

Reality comes in a steadfast sunrise;

gold absorbs but never reflects.

—

Such metal circles require greased extractions,

but the only pig fat comes from me.

—

Dead now, this aqualung heart submerged

in deepest darkness, bottom of the trench.

—

Tomorrow’s just another day, they say,

but who they are remains moot.

Thank you for reading
