he said we were not the center
you all thought otherwise
with double sided mirrors clasped by your sides

he said we were not the center
you all said otherwise
with your heads fallen off of your shoulders into the palms of your own demise

he said we were not the center
you all swore otherwise
screaming with face paint and weapons
what did you say and why?

"I am the center"
"we are the center"
self proclaimed banter

looking into double sided mirrors
with heads in hands
let the weapons and paint do the talking

ego takes the center
with gravity
the lost revolve

I tend to laugh when I get mad
and numb when I'm sad
so hand me your fourth finger on a silver platter
and I'll dress it with my mood ring

the open field and it's moving wind
has no mind, but it's all the same
the distance from heart to brain
and the distance from home to strange

the song never ends
the strings vibrate
muffled and underwater
slowly, slowly, slowly

my kind
always die
and live hard
live really intensely and hard and sturdy
always ending in melted wax
with smoke rising
waving hand gestures
with haze and goodbyes

the October wind grazes
along fields of my skin
but August still lingers with suffocation,
humidity continually seeping

as rustling leaves made a girl
knowing colors would change
permeating a hint of cinder
from the stems, the bark, the branches

hooves cautiously drifting
drawn to low static
the flow of chemistry
over pebbles and geology

my reality is laid to rest
but awoken by peaceful dreams
naturally creating moments
art by which exists in visceral beams

we learn that the wind carries infancy
the substrate holds discovery
the water reveals change, if not time
and the brain develops meaning
-belonging only to seen ambience
-to which includes ourselves

white light
pulsing,
walking my way.
twitching.
ticks buried inside a glisten.
sinking sharpness.
blade to eye.
diving with it's numb electricity
pulling me to levitation.
crack me open.
split me wide.
break my internal life.

dark
light

I wake up to dirt
toys
bunkbeds

dark
light

I wake up to a classroom
girls
friendships

dark
light

I wake up to a beard
a 9 to 5
bills

dark
light

I wake up to a wife
kids
wisdom

dark
light

I wake up to wrinkles
loss
deterioration

light

backwards in motion
the ocean flees land
with the rhythm of no pattern
yet with more rhythm and pattern than strings and percussion

it's seen where eyes have not
pressing further than ticks
foaming at the mouth
will it be saved?
or shall we see blue pour red

elastic skin
should you break
you would unleash
rust
