his breath
was golden.
suspended under concrete,
this life was one
written in footprints,
spelt out
by the sheer tread of rubber soles
through weightless mornings
& dust-dragged afternoons
where the flicker of yesterday
passes into sunset tomorrows,
there is no pause for remembrance.
because
dusk can last forever
in a stillframe pause
like his,
nameless
and suspended
underneath –
(underneath
your gaze)
