The faint lines on my palm
Whirl in the slow dance of the moon
“Shhhhhrrrrrrrr”
I was going to become a man
Dark was going to turn grey
Life was to be yellow lit
But mists encroached the yellow ball
Then came the silent thrill of aloneness
Locked in the rhythm of pumps- “gbi-gi-gbi-gi”
The last drop of my grits fell- “kaun”
Is that me or the scary silhouette beside me?
I am lost, right where I am finding myself
