the atrium plug

specks of life settled,
for once
peace felt like kin
despite selfishness
greed
disrespect
my eyes forward
but theirs, theirs nowhere to be seen
blind
like fools
and yet again
i trust
like a fool
and yet again
she has to go
who has nothing
yearns for nothing
yields to everyone
why
and yet again
burdened
sag
bump
thump
specks of life settled,
only for a moment
