I miss the loneliness that haunted youth

The highs and lows

The sucking whine between dead leaves at night

The glow of autumn afternoons

I miss the loneliness that fed on us

But from a safe remove

Stunned birds like us

Flown into glass

Testing the edge

Beyond the town there was a field I knew

I’d lie alone

My face obscured I could be anyone

A hundred years between each thought

Beyond the town the softest violence hummed

And the sky would open up

Now i’m boring and full of shit

Testing the edge
