Coaster

I felt lexically homeless
when a whale spirited in
He played wind he whistled
Finned through me
There are many many other ways -
he thought to me


 

Dancing through it all,
twirling away
can't stop feeling
for the traps under my foot
And if I find them
I'll grow
And if I don't 
I'll fly
Letting go
Watching myself
trying on a trick
to disappear
Letting go
Making a new habit
of not standing in the way
of the dance

Tell me, how did we get here?

I hear gunshots in the dark
ripping echo through the nightdreaming woods
Tearing the lace of life
residue of lead, fear
Smokefall blanket for all of us
Missed heartbeat
My feet sweating tears not in my eyes

 

I'm sat here for breakfast
with a Demon
(the tea was my idea, he showed up uncalled)
It sounds so Regal
but I keep sitting
and I keep looking
He's just a scared child
of mine

I crossed the ocean
with something on my mind
But turned out I
had no vocabulary for it
Sad landing.
