It is a flat day. Behind me, golden water continues to rise. A step beyond and I will break my mother's back. I feel the sum of jokes untold and lies misunderstood. On the edge of this fear, do believe. A new correction. Centered and balanced on my forehead. Unpack my mind. In Leopard skin or Moleskin. Anything but, Something forgettable. The tide has come. I will say goodbye. In my own way. Will you rise and fall? During my rest, will you continue life? Or will you begin death again? Baby, I am he. Without curls and without the illusion of honesty. An American flag. If his country will do nothing as one child freezes, it is only natural to swaddle with its flag. Baby I am falling down real fast. Baby I am moving and my eyes are closed. Baby I am seeing a light. And baby, did you know? You were all I had.

I found a bullet with my name on it.
It is a flat day. Behind me, golden water continues to rise. A step beyond and I will break my mother's back. I feel the sum of jokes untold and lies misunderstood. On the edge of this fear, do believe. A new correction. Centered and balanced on my forehead. Unpack my mind. In Leopard skin or Moleskin. Anything but, Something forgettable. The tide has come. I will say goodbye. In my own way. Will you rise and fall? During my rest, will you continue life? Or will you begin death again? Baby, I am he. Without curls and without the illusion of honesty. An American flag. If his country will do nothing as one child freezes, it is only natural to swaddle with its flag. Baby I am falling down real fast. Baby I am moving and my eyes are closed. Baby I am seeing a light. And baby, did you know? You were all I had.
