Slowly goes the timebomb
night sky up far above
mocking like a thousand birds in flight
screaming their defiance
like his heart
tilt his head up
lift to face-
end lit up like fireflies
drifting out of town
breathe in slowly
draw breath of life death into lungs
burning like his eyes at night as he lay
trying to sleep listening to screams
slowly let breath out
And watch
little wisps of soul
ghosts of another life
stars shake
laughing
mocking
free
another puff of life death
and he knows it's slowly killing him
and he knows he shouldn't do it
but hell if this town gets him first.
