High rise flats

So, heavenly

Pulsing waves of mist, kiss & bless you, as we walk along these walkways in the sky, rain seeps through the holes in the cladding, straight into my heart, so scared we are alone.

Below, streetlights shine into a town like Malice, behind the eye-line: rats scurry. This estate blooms with youths who screech like seagulls seen and heard through the black holes in the fabric: torn to ribbons, broken-backed, like twins in the mirror, we look at each other side-by-side with nothing to see and nowhere to hide.
