1.
Acting composed My nerves try not to show The ceiling collapses Misfiring synapses A preamble that dissolves It trembles to resolve Solving the tables of values A full stack of wrong cards The prequel injected The sequels directed I’ll make the lines fit We’re relishing in it Midnight oil sold by snakes A serpentine glow Scans for false breaks
2.
I have loved before Long before now And I know what beauty is Yet have lost it right here I am human, falling slowly My true self is plagued with much self doubt A problem I see Chained and not free Is my need to be reformed and be the reformer When I push open the heavy door There is no strength behind it, only doubt Trying to move up like a feather in the wind Weighed by thoughts in the mud Presently One day at a time for now I saw my best self in a mirrored glance Too timid to say hi He’s gone now When I was ready for a new change My hand reached out to find a question mark? How many times have you searched your mind For answers you thought were near yet still gone?
3.
Flee to the east Ending up closer to the midpoint Geography isn’t so sacred Pick up a sextant and chart along false lines The glass is opaque and obscures foreshadowing There are anecdotes that don’t want to be told Using girth to narrow what is seen To believe is to clean Tidying the thin bits of string That came from removing what little we had Elongating when it benefits Grading longer to handle the weight A secret view into processes we don’t know I truly wish this was simpler High falls far above A cryptic misdirection The water renews We’ll enjoy these rare views Bit by bit the lite shines through You’ll have to dive to the bottom to block this chain
4.
Like a champion in the fade, an incessant tide abrades, drowned in complexity, hyberbole and qualified claims We might move forward in the warmth of vertical devils Their finger and relics and barriers Grasped in shifting sands of ignition But there’s a large and pretty house and something real on every plate and a horse on every road and a scroll for them to read Out across the ultraviolet realm, Leaves and godrays littered my dream On the steps of his pyramid, the oblation was received I am placed under his wing Fed and fertilized If every hour were half empty, what had been gained?
5.
We carry a roof that sheds a shingle of truth Here and there, up in the air Admitting the planetary guilt Digging its own ditches Hold onto this all tight No preventing tectonic twitches The narrows are the rare sight We follow through regardless Frail in many ways Our attention often sways The crashing, shattered vase Every day violations permitted by the silence Striking the internals from the alien A ratified treaty that annuls It’s a trial that would rather be a heist And we’ll return to this tinderbox canyon A spacious nest isn’t safe for the few Traveling far and wide Tracing the networks of dismay Their grip seldom releases Multiple handles to have on it The veil rises slowly, and sporadically There are more viewpoints than thoughts We view the disarray in a new light
6.
Back in the sunken inset Crawled from primordial blue Languished in a sunlit cradle and spoiled in their spawning pool Myriad gladhanding travelers locked in their story arc A cryptic suspension from the wagging finger of a behavioral zombie Would you prove flavor to me? Could you draw color for me? Mired in the haunt of division We reach for a thread of muscle memory Entwined in some trepanating light Malleable at the rock above Then a tide of warmth may turn Centered in an open space Their high and their way and crystalline oils Cannot lead us astray I know we are the same
