woke up staring at the bottom of a flower.
i grew up like i was supposed to,
with all my body parts still in tact
and i smile about that.
I smile because your arms and feet
still look the way they were supposed to.
and i laugh cause...
where'd you go?
look between shoes and gloves and
you'd gone somewhere, i dont know.
It's introspective, i suppose,
to lose your self and find it again;
too tired to care about circles or squares.
So expensive to watch the sunset these days
so i just watch you,
soiled soulful friend of mine
with hair and eyes and
all of these things that i recognize,
i suppose.
that i suppose a lot of things,
temperace is beautiful by howard-roark, literature
Literature
temperace is beautiful
the dew on the outside of the glass
races into your mouth like your lips seal a vacuum.
and with them i wipe my face.
and through strands of water i enter you.
and through strands of water i breathe.
my halfway smile sings our lonesome lulliby,
stepping halfway into the night;
sun half set half here,
half awake and half waiting for such clouded water
to clear.
submarine sinking; such danger,
danger, dangerous to think of such things
sitting staring at the porthole with a
hammer in my hand just...
waiting for such clouded water
to clear.
so take me as my songs to you may seem to be
to me just another tune hummed and
we anticipate rain.
we fill holes with teabags and lift
the world to our angle with our hands afterward to
drink the puddles-
that which is the suffix of our storms,
the elements of our minds working in co
operation or operations of conflict.you scream disciplinary like
you are the one that you hate.
i take my time
take my time
and no real motive for motivation;
six in the morning living through
vines and sunshine pillars
heads back mouths swallowing entire skies
laughing like killers,
killed integrity,
killed dishonesty,
murdered the world back down to just...
life.
murder
you've been caught,
yeah, we've all been had.
i am nothing like you.
a camera can not take a picture
of itself.
like stones in a garden,
secret and bare-beautiful
and the lack of balance between
what we know and what we dont;
worldly knowledge.
Trying to pull it off,
pull it off the top of a topless sunset,
[bare chested and covering the world in
a world of things we forgot.]
He's methamphetamine,
strand glass blown brittle and golden,
reaching toward endless expanse,
reaching, fingers spread wide in the air
blowing cotton and polyester in waves
against his skin,
almost smiling,
almost conspiring
to feel beautiful and kept still in a picture,
so
you're the water than
I'm jumping in to become a solution
to be the wind that blows from the sea
to be the smoke seeping up through the cracks in the floor
to be our own insecurities.
and blown back to the polyester couch;
with you.
turn the lights off and
close the windows
but the wind still blows from inside you
and your face still glows
...glows sometimes.
and sometimes the world isn't so important,
sixty three years from now
thinking back on these hard wood floors
our feet spent together
...spent,
spent like this precious time.
And after all,
you remember what doesn't slip through the cracks
of your own floor.
and all
