Ohio. when your whole life flashes before your eyes, who will you think of?
The man who seeks only truth Will not be set free by it Instead he will only find voids As the embers of love And the rains of depression Rip to shreds The fabric of reality This is the human condition The gregarious portion A infinite ray that neither widens nor shrinks What good will buckets of logic serve In a world muddled by emotion and instability So I ask you Don't seek the perfectly folded envelope of truth Sink deep into the uncertainty of it all

Truth
laid upon crimson hair beautiful bound silhouettes emerge from light which shone ago an eternity she, an image cast upon the eyes of me with only eyes for which to see, she an earthly yet ethereal spectacle tangled between realms of man and tree here i lay beneath her canopy waiting for her song of so many birds and bees

She
stretched behind you, a thin ribbon a ***** pink one of sorrow one I attempt to carry for you like Rapunzel's knight with her hair sometimes I can catch up you'll let me release the bundle and it flies so high in the air you'll kiss me until it drops again I dread the moment you walk again leaving me this tattered mess knowing it's crushing me but I cannot stop following waiting for the moment the stride stops to catch that fire in the blues of your eyes hoping to catch a glimpse of when we used walked side by side

Ribbon
love to hear you talk watch the air leave your mouth doesn't matter if it's mundane or something horrible I prefer it that way Letting you ramble distracting me from the empty ringing keep talking don't let up speak until you run out of words We will switch to hands

love to talk
I carry an old photo of you wherever it is I go So that even a walk through hell can be mended by an angel's smile It might be in my hat or in a back pocket by itself like you're walking next to me and I feel you bleed out the borders And you seep down my back my chest, my legs, my feet Right into my shoes Every step becoming much heavier I will carry you with me until they find me cadaverlike clutching onto the very thing which gave me so much life

Photo
sometimes I wish the wind sharp and soft would carry me away My ears ring so loud I just wish for a quiet noise like children giggling or a morning dove calling anything but this it is so loud I can feel it in my throat behind my face protruding from my eyes it is in every color every voice every little god-made creation there is no escape

quiet
there is a man following me taking my shape and mimics all I do in the house at stores the library even my sleep I turn and yell at him and he just dances he falls over gets up and growls opens a candy bar watches the ocean he revels in my noticing he knows no one else can see him or hear my screams what does he want from me

is he following me?
let summer swim among faces lit with desert moonlight skin sweat carry energy shone from fairy eyes sacred dances coupled with the sounds of shapes and colors nearby jumping up and down with a tribal vengeance every digit of hands surpassing threshold of skin and bear hug life force don't be with her live in her

deadly desert dance
she felt my heart flutter and asked why I said I feel small around her she frowned and wished I didn't feel that way But she doesn't know what it means to have to live so strong for so long to forgo childhood to be a mountain for so many To be able to feel so vulnerable around someone where you can't even look at them that which you feel like water droplets in a puddle under her feet perhaps a piece of origami she made with her, I could let the dam burst stop letting arrows and knives pierce me ever so slightly I don't have to stand strong with her she is my rock and with that I could conquer the world

so small
is there really any hope left a man left to die on the ground a tree withering in smog a child taught to hide in their school is there any true escape what would peace even look like would it be jesus like bright and accepting I do not know I have lived in my own shadow for so long I have forgot parts of myself that will never come back I want to say it hurts but anymore it is numb like frost bitten fingers I have nothing left I only pray for peace to find me
