Logistics

Fall out shelters were designed to protect us from Nuclear explosions.
They don't save you from toxic thoughts and feelings or force you to come out of hiding.
Besides, I don't really want to live underground.
Maybe I could make a stone fortress?

You'd probably still break down that barricade.
I need to find a way to work with the resources I've got, but I find myself outmatched.
If only I could plan an escape route, I'd understand where I was going.
Unfortunately I've never been good at logistics and you're already inside.

There are far too many casualties in your friendly fire so bright that dimming is inevitable is it comfortable to fall from grace? Is there space for heavy hand stitched wings? reckless, wild and beautiful setting flames to the scenes around you- you burn, burn burn I never knew implosion could be so eloquent  If they ask what defines it? Loneliness. This is the constant of the human condition. You wanted to step out of the darkness but even you faded when you flew too close to the sun. Shhh…we’ll call it transformation.

I saw a man die today. He flew head first off of his bike and into a tree. His belongings were scattered all over the road like children's toys And although he wasn't young I cant help but wonder if he belonged to someone, if he was rushing back to a house where someone was excited to see him-eagerly awaiting his arrival. I did not know his name and I imagine no one else around me did either. I saw a man die today. I think he belonged to someone.
