Expansion of the mind, go expand your soul
Its tension in the pores of the sentimental life, dragging strife, passive stride
Leading in the self by an inward stagnancies
Friction in the depths of the recording heard, rotten words, being stirred
Deciding. What’s my inspiration?
Where’s the condemnation for choosing satisfaction?
Do I aim at all? And when I do is the target lucid, are my purposes eluded
With contemplation inspiring inflammation of the whole, body mind soul
Control, the hope for every one for every situation to cope with the note-less birds in the
cemeteries
Sitting in the trees
Lets eradicate the trees
Allow it to be done
To those that stand tall budding each season
but loom over bare when the harvest comes
Lets allow the buds to bloom.

a broken vessel
and bailing water is drowning
out the ability to drift back to shore,
it’s always calm before the storm
but when a breeze disappears
the chance of moving anywhere
flies away like the seagulls
laughing in cocksure,
the water seems so thick
like drifting in ink that draws out
abstracts of stagnancies
and ever time I row,
the boat rhymes in harmony
with the singing current
and cisterns will begin to cry,
I can’t travel alone and
I don’t know how to swim
but at least the sand below
will be softer than rock bottom
