Watch the dappling leaves
Bright green
Waxy
Reflecting light
Mirrors with depth
With life
Watch through windows
Set to filter out life
Filter out smells
Filter out the chaos
The order of passing
Cold inside while the world bakes
Trapped inside
Hamster on the wheel
Shuffle out
Get in my truck
Baking
Heat burns into bones
Quiet and rattle
These the only moments of silence
Instead of music
Let the panic rush past
Through
Once more into poison
Just a quick dip
Then through
Long enough to sleep
To feel safe
Behind locked doors
Which sit behind locked doors
Which sit behind locked doors
