run around like angry toddlers

spoiled on sweets unable to rest

this settling down I seek seems a distant illusion

has the world made the turmoil that’s dug into my skin

can blame be cast to the atmosphere of disquieting structures falling

into the yards and gardens of the everyday me

my eyes seem unable to stop the clearing that tears profess to be

I am not certain how to let go of the hope dashed as it has been

having serrated my cells scars left unhealed

festering unseen me still breathing
