the night is a rook's feather
folded into its side
a common bird
light falling into it
the moon is a white stain
the sky pouring water
smears the light
clouds falling through it
the window casts a shadow
colours everything in its path
sledgehammer symbolism
falling out the back of his head
the man doesn't know what to think
tries to write poetry, marks on paper
a small conceit
forever falling
the falling man marks the shadow symbol
a common symbol a conceit symbol a conceit staining his head feather light doesn't the man know the symbol knows everything
the symbol stains his head
a common man
letters pulled like rotten teeth form this insidious virus
a world virus
have faith
safety in numbers
night falling white falling shadow falling man falling falling
