and what then
when it's all slipped me by
chances to right generational wrongs
diagonal in my bed
when my companions have left to meet their cousins and uncles and that ornery aunt
when I am faced with my humanity
and the longevity of the night feels unending
warm streams etching into the creases of my facade
I know what medicine cures this
but what then when I have been robbed of my only glimpse
when it's all slipped me by

I never thought I looked good in tights
I never been fond of bells
yet here we are in this court of royals on the eve of another birth night
I come before you, a jester like no other
a comedic tragedy ripe from my mother

Icey fingers
Bitter thoughts
Polar nights
Bleak mornings
The heart wants what it wants
But hell hath frozen over.

Something is missing.
Ive lost a part of me once more
It won't fit right if it ever comes back
I'll just have to cut my losses
Once more.

All I want to do
Is hear the waves roll into my
Tidepools
Just want to
Kiss the stars
And shine my scars at the moon
I just want to live my life
Without hearing you
In the back of the room
And you wonder
Why you've been left with a box of half finished blunders
By your definition
That wasnt my vision
You're just an open wound
In the back of the room
Don't you think the sun misses
Leaving warm sweet kisses
But you hated every shade it painted me

have you ever drawn a map before?
there's an art in topography
cordillera and coulee alike
unfamiliar but bewitching
can I camp here too, since we're hiking thr same way?
soups on the fire now! you should have a bowl
it's made with tolerance and solicitude, silent secrets and unspoken certainty.
will you join me? on the precipice?
will you see the different colors I paint the sky with?
will you welcome the roaring open ocean, rocking you to sleep
lay your head down just this once
tomorrow holds your zenith

and then the night drew near
the sun kissing the moon goodnight
stars singing the trees to sleep
the winter chasing the summer
autumn greeting spring
the birds and their bees
something something for everything
or so it goes

my leftover thoughts are your holy gospel
go on and sing for the choir
you brought the matches
you lit this pyre
Come take your seat
my shows about to begin

what's it like holding the weight of the world on your shoulders
sure you've seen a horizon or two
but are those even really your hands?

I can hear the stars whispering
Their words dance through the wind
I hear my fate intertwined in the murmurs
They've written the script,
I've just got to win the award.
