So later that evening Erick slipped out of sight
Said goodbye to Bellflower and disappeared in the night

I sit, I watch.
Faces case, twitch and turn
Alert in anticipation.

Spread evenly
Surrounded
By invisible force fields
of personal space.

Single figures incomplete.
Waiting, longing …

New things to taste and smear about
And family, to adore you

Then a rumble & crack brings a moment’s relief
Yet lone drops are…

Pain consumes me as I float into the music…
