Sing
Sing of all we have
lost. Might there be a dream that remains true?
Listless and hidden the outgoing glare.
We live in an idiot box,
with many shaded idiot lights.
So far gone are the glory days of Timbuktu
There is a time in
this modern day where,
the light holds the sun in a hostile decay,
When
The trees are gripped between lines of searing sway.
A romance defined by skylines,
before the sky.
And sight stretches only as far as our own swollen bellies.

Sarah
Sarah
Sarah sinks into
a shallow and grave disposition.
This is life!, she thinks
and fails under it.
To her the digging is four days past due,
but for her mother
only two.
There is a sound that resounds
like a screaming page familiar.
It is her Romeo
yet he is bidding adeu.
For four days hence
she will sink again
but for her mother only two.
Matthew Argalas
Albeit in the manner
in which all was contrived
we see that all was built
before our time
And when the towers
are higher than our memories
I think we shall see the true
span of our faculties
For there is a steady rain inside the hour
when time drips
traces
and then falls away
there is a rain inside the hour
-Matthew Argalas
