bleeding

does a lion lie do lies settle here,

beneath these sheets in these nested enclosures,

i've found myself strewn upon? or corridors, from i to places

never invented?

or just clusters of stars,

too distant seven things

from wherever i found myself, burnt oceans into sand;

or what breathing was, two glimmering points.

or emptiness?

there you were, a sign of rehearsal,

pulling life down, on trails hung or omen, or,

in perfect lines from just kind of nothing

each &every; spark in the sky at

all.

*nine. sharp.

am i

always just

this unmotivated?*

 

do i truly perceive

the embedding nothingness does this get

from life, or just in dream still? any easier?

 

i'd rather find

myself at

the bottom of the ocean,

some

days,

i guess. sorry.

"i had a dream you picked up your feet and walked on over to me

i had a dream i finished those songs i gave up on

it doesn’t seem fair to be alone in the spring air

but i added the numbers from those long ****** up summers and i found myself there

with you.."
