A commitment of skin
and bone
A tethering of time
not alone
Knots of Distance
the past and fearsome next
opening their endless arms
scrawling their fading text
on every instance
during every song an' dance
We'll take our elegant chance

Oh the voices
I have quieted
That have stopped
That I've stopped
That have left
I hear them
reconnoiter
from inside
observing their
Non-existentence
and gasping well thought
Ideas of air

What if this angst mine
this sometimes beautiful
crangst list of syllabic
****** and flowerings
wailings and whimsy
this double illusory
shell of opinions
has just gone hungry

and the beast feasts

Score one for the universe
it asked me a question tonight
and an impossible fantasy
came true right here in my home

I said yes

Agreed to somethings

The agents of the universe arrived

My dogs loved them

It is looking for a way out
or maybe that is a way in
past the wheel of know
spinning and even spanning

Crack the skin

of sorrow swirling

see confetti flying

in every direction

This clever operating system
of a background noise rooted
in us that bears us as fruit
likes to be beautiful for us

i have a shocking

smile full of time

lifting my face

of its own accord

Want this
and
fidgiting

Phantom
skin
and delight

Clear wins
of
distraction

I have
a
list of things

undone

I'm aching
To make sense
This binge-ing
on now here
Day after day
Oxygen fueled
Cooked atp 'n me
I'm just spent
not even sure
wisely matters
as life wins
from every
direction
Not saying
I lose
Sayin' life
Makes relentless
look weak
