when collective confusion shadows the sun
and only then does it feel bright

silently amongst a crowd of strangers
the need for a horn presents itself

trembling internally
for that elevated echo to ascend the celeste
in hopes our ears will deafen to the sound

in hopes the sound opens the valves of our tear ducts
provoking our most dormant recesses to flood our filth

undressing the abashed

and when the leaves finally become consumed by worms,
hidden from the blaze of the over rated,

it finds a level of comfort
beneath the nights spherical medium,
rotating around our axis
waxing and waning as one
with the echoes of the past
