Goodbye, Youngins

A growing shadow
falling on youth
Caught between hustle
and paper chaos

Wet with expectation;
made up of bright eyes 
and full ashtrays,
quieter corners and 
one more empty chair 

Fill your faces 
with blue light 
and thicker skin,  
with a fire more bright,
thirsty teeth sinking in

To keep up with the drum 
or, better, beat your own
