This has nothing to do with me.

A tired smile
beneath sad eyes

Colours. Muted.

Brambles would not be
out of place
in the distance somewhere

out of focus
resigned to a lost summer
memory

Medicine drips
slowly into the vein
healing poison

an antidote?

A description
of a moment
chastened by gravity

unspoken

felt more
than understood
