i live in a brightness
of worlds
paper-thin
a screenshot of
malleability
introduces my reckoning
today, the serpent
lays hold of
the egg
and starvation
is kept at bay
belly full
cut the cord
the descendants
hang heavy
all my life i've wanted
a reason to
die well
tonight, I hear it
in the sirens...
I hear it
in the coyotes...
I hear it
in my soul...
tonight, I hear it
in plain sight--
as clear
as a daisy
i was allowed
to slow down
to see my life
in a different gear
to venture a guess
towards life in payment
of a different path
i was
hungry
and hung-up
i was held-up
with my pants
down
i was a man
living his life
in the modern
mouse-trap
and nobody
cares about the
man in the
modern
mouse-trap
forget about the
cheese...
find your
own way
