warm buttered syrup
the smell woke me from my dreams
little discs of flour

She is the ocean

               when I can't swim. The truth is

                                                     I'm fine with drowning

Constantly different but always the same
Frivolously wild and cautiously tame
I’m both your savior and your bane
You hate to love me and you love to hate
I can’t predict these things under the sun
I lose every time that I have won
I’m everything you know and I’m none
A million faces belonging to one
I’m the crone with a maiden living in my heart
And I can see all those sparks in the dark
And I feel the ghosts that roam in every park
And I know the best lies are swift and stark
While you look down at what is wrong
Eyes jeering at someone with a different drum
Soon it’ll play you in the long-run
Healing all wounds and defeating all tongues
Where is the lantern of severest truth
Where is the counselor cut in two
I need an answer, please reach out soon
Feet tied to earth, head bound to moon
