Sleet Seasonal Supplement — Summer 2011

Austin Cunningham

these things are delicate

we walk,
heavily
now,
our feet
melting asphalt.

i have no substance:
no smoke,
no chemical,
and i feel
as if my bones
are too weak to
support me

the music
always sounds
kind
here and my
vision is
bright and soft,
like it's the end of something.

I can
no longer see
the whites
of our eyes.
