Countdown
Setting off a rollicking charge… like a waiting rocket to countdown / Solo pugilist in the ring… lancing darts at butterflies in cloistered air / 10…. 9…. 8….

it saws old rain in my skull / and your thoughts take a tour; wet and heavy / and quietly, the dirt shifts in the metal tracts

A harsh wind kisses my fingers into sleeping. / Blurring the movement on the toggles of an anorak, / But my eyes dart quick, oiled and fleeting,

A nomadic voyage, a heart's quest / Quiet and alone were an attractive option / But your music makes me dance

Eat your brains for kings pleasure, / While snacking your soul on ancient lore, / find the meanings twice and you die,

By scratch and scrim and keys, a poets write, / Parsing the eyes drop, lancing the buried ear, / Under the hewning gaze of hazel trees night,

She travelled, / Trudged the grasses that once were the reminder of the area she's confined in. / Walked through the bleak chambers of her heart that kept her vision captive.
