Pantoum

In a dark alley, I lie on broken pavement
Wearing nothing but shreds of clothes.
The cold slowly sinking into the wounds,
The air too suffocating to breath.
Wearing nothing but shreds of clothes,
I lift my head to look at the sky.
The air too suffocating to breath,
Sparkling so brightly,
I lift my head to look at the sky.
I can almost forget the pain,
Sparkling so brightly,
My eyes slowly flutter close.
I can almost forget the pain,
The cold sinking into the wounds,
My eyes slowly flutter close.
In a dark alley I lie on broken pavement.
