human life debris

by Matthias L. - Capricorn

so I am back in the watcher's position
  news they would touch me
 are so much exaggerated
    money for nothing 
   insurance fees
I'm trying not to sleep
  while a signal from the past
 is still echoing onwards,
carving tunnels through the mist that's around me
   is it a call for rescue?
 or a daily weather broadcast
   mixed into the white noise of existence?

I still cannot tell
 not from my perspective
Never to judge
    but once again I reply
 like an old man residing
   in the lighthouse at coast
 a man so much older than me

well aware that my signals
   contain codes long forsaken
 I still try to keep 
   some rays of hope in this night
 hoping they'll get through
    before it's too late

because another shattered life
  is something I can't handle now
