They shine, they darken—
a face for every season;
facades and humans.

They shine, they darken—
a face for every season;
facades and humans.

Casts them in neat rows
without a toe out of line—
world can’t restrain youth.

Pining for nurture,
hangs such succulent despair;
unnourished nature.

Cruel world forgets—
hyper-focused on the self,
that others exist.

One step at a time,
climbing fortune-studded stairs—
momentary joy.
