sighhhhh

im lost in a turbulence

blinded eyes

 i can do nothing

but hold on to this cigarette

red flame anchoring the night

im freezing in

 the hot air

rising from the pavements like ghost of the city

words float behind my eyes

 yet definition exceed them

this heart break is terrifying

this divorce between the moon and i

intimate dreams

 leave by the seconds

I love this piece. The mood is captured and given to us perfectly, piece by piece. I love the simple, but powerful language. "Freezing in the hot air"... that is delicious writing.

Wonderfully captured moment.

Nice Irish title with a smoky city and a cheating moon.
Some nights are darker than others.
