come tumbling down with me flying skyward frown upside inside out
\\
this amoebic mass of intergalactic introspection and analyses of outward perception
\\
this ion exchange line dancing across an axon don't shoot the neurotransmitter
\\
this realm is made entirely of thanks when there is nothing to say
\\
it is my childhood that keeps me alive
\\
I'd like to immortalize my friends
\\
remember when we played in the sandbox?
\\
remember when my father stabbed you with a screwdriver.
\\
there was a time when all that mattered was music there was a time when all that mattered was flesh there was a time when all that mattered was eternal there was a time when all that mattered was death
\\
scaled fish curling into reverse spiral it floats there in haunting grimace
\\
the upholstered chairs by the fireplace feet chewed by the jaws of a puppy
\\
the china cabinet in the corner I could see the reflection of your disgusting indulgences in it
screwdriver pink skin
\\
the musty mass of wires where your desk once was
where your life unfolded 'til the wee hours of the morning sick and twisted absent minded distant soul
\\
that ball of electricity floating down from the sky bobs as a ball in the surf toward the kitchen door
\\
terrifying electric forgiveness coming to engulf my brittle heart
