5.30 and the shrine is closed
Confession cancelled
Indefinitely
A cross to bear,
A shoulder aches
A baby cries and
Heads are turned
There is no limit, steps are cold
A walk-through dream,
A sleeping scream
Black breath from an iron lung
A metal soundtrack switched
To play
A green and grey combination
There is no background,
No depth at all
A flapping poster, a silent scar
Stage set for a slow death
A tight smile,
The ghost of a grin
Bulletin from a distant star
The drones we speak,
The code oblique
Who can recode,
Who can rebuild?
Christ it must be cold out there
A dirty night, a life indoors
Ignoble profile,
A modern outlook
Rushed prayer to casual
Heaven
Concrete Eternal
