Red Sky by Strider Marcus Jones

In Between Hangovers

i forgot to put my image in a photograph.

it was walking with a crowd inside a dream;

humming songs, that once turned on a phonograph

who have left this herd, unseen-

to its shadows of indifference

and coats pulled-to in self defence,

searching for omnipotence-

red sky too intense.

do i stay, or go now?

work it out for me?

what is left to grow now?

to make, and be?

black doors in the distance,

let in specific light,

while opposites of resistance

limbo in twilight-

like wicks without matches,

living in opaque eyed hatches

and wired stone-

drawing heavy bolts and nervous latches

for pawn heroes, in cold dispatches,

now splinters of bone,

not coming home.
