Hot Chill

"yeah man, but it's a dry heat!"

By BrenPublished about 11 hours ago Updated about 10 hours ago 1 min read

cones

coffee

cigarettes

self-prescribed

for a morning

fraught

with inevitable

similarities

to others

near and gone

…regardless

addled senses

sore head

dry mouth

panadol

procrastination

trying

to trace

yesterdays

while facing

todays

sitting in the sun

getting burnt

ignoring

lessons learnt

sitting

and waiting

for the nothing

to come

sitting

in a red eyed hazy

chasing thoughts

drifting lazy

chasing rhymes

a tangible crazy

chasing

the nothing

embracing –

the numb

not moving

not feeling

rolling

not reeling

tasting

the tease of time

wasting

a piece of mine

a moment

that may

have become

a moment

now gone
