onion gloop

Confounded by myself

Confronted by someone else

So fragile

So strong

Carry on

Carry on

Internal menace

External menace

Clogs up the lungs

Clogs up the heart

Machine age –new start

Funeral cloth we dare

Funeral cloth we wear

Hundreds of miles in a pall

Hundreds of miles fall

Befogged and befuddled

Black fog – the car shudders

Torchlight swirls and flurries

Link lighter swirls and buries

Life as it was

Life as it is

Drawn and hollow

Drawn old hollow

Excavate the facts

Excavate the journey

Smudge and smear

Ghosts of reality appear
