blather
taste_of_decay
birdmad hot, dry
polluted city air

each breath tightens in my throat

fragment of broken tooth
lacerating tongue

faint
metallic tang of trickling blood

have another cigarette and start walking

expanses of concrete and asphalt radiate the heat into the sky to dispel the clouds, keeping them at bay like disinvited paramours
