a black and white photo of a wall

Is humanity a mere equation
And solace a lost revelation
Are fruitflies passing over
And through your bitter sanity
Like ripples in a dank and sorry
Impure, cold humanity

Shall systems pour out paradigms
Like mercury mixed with sparkling wines
A heart defined by heavy weather
So twisted, cut, and bruised
Like leather

The tears fall in polyrhythm
With no love for the unforgiven
And no one knows the better

Solace Weather Rhythm
