throwing shadows

John Sweet

industrial childhood dreaming of
rain, looking out at
a blood-red river through a dirty window snd
                                hopeless
                        like christ

a bridge half-
finished and the forgotten

try to remember the name of the town but
all that comes to mind is
the idea of escape

an abandoned church up on
german cross hill

and what if all our days added together
amount to less than the years the become and
what if all those years add up to nothing?

fear is the fuel you run on

survival is a religion

the unendurable weight of
where we are becomes
                everything
even if we’re nowhere at all
