[Redacted]
Halls filled to the brim with silence and heavy machinery -

[You think it's heaven, a hideout, hideously intoxicating.
I think it's a story, sense the grain engraved in its trace already, flickering lightbulbs and mossy pipes.]

Between crooked doors and mysterious metal screws
It's so easy to forget how reckless you are,

Hues of nature and unforgiving industry
seep through your skin, light a fire within

my stack of scratched down newspapers and your heavy-metal heart.

I scratch the surface of being an artist, and obscure little letters into copper crossbars.

You drop my lighter down (the drain, the roof, to go a little further)
Wind. Whispers. It hits the ground.
3 stories under, you hear water, I absorb
The end of an adventure.

Long neck metal bird, unheard clinking of glasses.

18°C, Humidity 64%, UV Index low.
