They’re coming for you – human tendencies On their mind You matched your smile to my voice — And I whispered into the walls A room full of bodies, who’s souls were yours But not your own They watch through glass lens As I watched anything other than Your eyes Their movements were yours, And in the hollows of night They shed skin, alighting into skies of Your voice Had you heard me breathing words — Before? They have — they are. Perhaps your ghost Is the shape The moon takes when I try to hold it And This Distance Is my heart from my head When they reach you, open your Ink stained arms, welcome loudest And swallow them whole We will not be — But those moments captured and Replayed Betray lips we share As we cling to the debris Of others

Crow Calling
They’re coming for you – human tendencies On their mind You matched your smile to my voice — And I whispered into the walls A room full of bodies, who’s souls were yours But not your own They watch through glass lens As I watched anything other than Your eyes Their movements were yours, And in the hollows of night They shed skin, alighting into skies of Your voice Had you heard me breathing words — Before? They have — they are. Perhaps your ghost Is the shape The moon takes when I try to hold it And This Distance Is my heart from my head When they reach you, open your Ink stained arms, welcome loudest And swallow them whole We will not be — But those moments captured and Replayed Betray lips we share As we cling to the debris Of others
