Give me indifference like slow fog:
Creeping vapour
Dissipated by the switch-flick of full-beams.
This opaque apathy does not thaw.
I’m brittle in thick ice.
You've got to be bad to get good
Give me indifference like slow fog:
Creeping vapour
Dissipated by the switch-flick of full-beams.
This opaque apathy does not thaw.
I’m brittle in thick ice.
I play rain sounds
Hoping for the ingress to flood
The echo chamber between my headphones.
I let myself soak
In the high-fidelity electric downpour.
Despite undertaking a three-hour pilgrimage
Just to visit my parents,
Mum can’t help herself
From asking what’s wrong with my hair.
Home is always home.
Condolences for the rain on your camping trip.
Congratulations on your purchase of Wellington boots.
Continue to argue with weather.
Consider praying to new gods.
You are sunshine,
You are rain,
And sometimes you are snow.
Every day I look at you, you warm me with your glow.
You nurture and sustain me; your pure essence gives me life.
But your cold stares and cold shoulders give me shivers, turn me ice.
You’re every type of weather and you’re every type of day;
You’re every type of beautiful.
And I love you every way.
