You knew it was the cry of my breath
and you knew you would ignore
there were so many cries for life
but none that gave you breath
I came from a distant place
a place of horrors and peace
where the demons shout with glee
giving us flight, while we run in terror
bleeding in our lost souls
Chase me in the absence
remember me when the clouds break
I’ll not be there
in the lightning
in the cacophony
in the… hmm
… I might be there.
Short life bleeds into years
no sense in setting clocks
all read the same
all chime last call
A monkey churns
a tune grinds on
I pop when time is…
….. time is
….. time is
….. time is…
when you have become the dancing monkey
you dance
it rains
it plays the sounds of the carnival
and if you dance the dance
ah!
”Have a nibble. It won’t last
but it will bait you along.”
I watched the sun
my eyes wide open
blistered my vision
opened my mind
and if it mattered
we’d all play the violin
and pretend the world was flat
As it is
I’ve forgotten my name
(thankfully, the Son remembers)
fifty-nine years and the plague of our dreams
Sai, we know not why
skips past and dreams of a better day.
Bring me my life.
Bring me my breath.
I will live
yes
I will live
YES
Black, white, and other shades of gray. These are the colors of our mind
these are the color we see…..
….. I am blue.
Find me.
