5 0 0 pieces or more
spill over six accounts
5 0 0 holes for fingers
opened over my skin
so when will i learn
to use my feet to seek?
so when will i learn
the blood i squeeze
will in time run dry?
the gills that i cut
will swallow the knife?
no time better than now
no time like the present
to remember to breathe
remember to walk toward
not away
a comet on legs leaving
trails of meteorites
no time better than now
the ropes of the past lace
through the toes to the wrists
how long has it taken?
how lucky am i that i
filled the flesh canvas
with angry scars and
still have the knife?
5 0 0 pieces or more
spill over six accounts
5 0 0 holes for fingers
opened over my skin
the detective is done
with the cold case blues
the detective is done
penning I 2 U s
there are enough mountains today
tomorrow and on for the detective
to be insane as long as they want
the detective is done
with the cold case blues
so case closed

So many pieces over so many accounts. I've hit so many angles, conjured so many demons, found so much harmony in the echoes of an old, rightfully retired dissonance. I'm at another point in life where I'm ready to initiate a paradigm shift and say a so long. This is the last personal narrative I plan on writing for as long as I can help it. I'm really looking forward to putting all that crap in containment and concentrating on creative projects. If you've liked what you've read so far, keep an eye out for a collaborative project with Toby (of HP) sometime in the future.
Thanks for reading. Thanks for writing.
