Highrise – Written Thursday 26th October 2023 (Aged 48)

Highrise

as a boy,
there was a boat
sailing upon the waves
but love,
love was never delivered
and the boat ran aground
could i peel back some layers
could i work it all out
as a boy,
there were versions of love
ones that i did not understand
someone made paperchains
someone took away their hands
someone left…
it was highrise,
and that’s what caused the mess
both,
had psychology on the brain
both,
had their own version of rain
as a boy,
there was a boat
and i wanted it to built from love
but it was never clear
what exactly constituted enough
