custos placitorum coronae

sorry i haven’t been by in nights
ive been on the high and drunk
running after your unrequited children
do you know how hard they live
the chance to win is really small
walking with your zombie children
we’ve learned a lot about the battle
whispering strategies into starving ears we crawl
above the city and her walls praying
dusting lime on dying children

  1. Devastating imagery, and heartbreaking, especially these lines: “we’ve learned a lot about the battle/
    whispering strategies into starving ears we crawl” — It made me think of the suffering in Gaza, in the Sudan, in the streets of our cities, the nightmare hellscape that life is for so many children in our world.
