Salt Water, Grey

Grey, timberwolf,
silver, shades I love
so why should
pewter skies
land on me so heavily
cloak me in sunless shadows
shower me in concrete hues
afraid to be cemented
to this place and time
comfortable in the
thin protective shell
in my heart I know
with the right touch
it will dissolve like
salt in water like
the composition of my tears -
toxic and needed
