viewit takes time, child
to cross an entire sky
a lady in pink
whispered
in my ear
slowly she slid
through clouds
weaving between
stars
leaving me to grieve
so alone i slept
the morning came
and so i rose
out the window
still sliding
though there were no
stars to guide
she said
hello again,
remember she asked
it takes time
viewmmmm
mhmm
danced a little
then sank into bed
prayed at my altar
then repeat again.
mmmm
mhmm
some days are drab
but others are fun
today seems to be
a mix of each one.

tricky tricky tricks
can't trust the ones who feed me

viewstruggle and tug
the sails are all warped
and now my boat is wrecked
surfaced from the salty weights
of brackish water
full of hope for new tomorrow
the fish at my toes
remind me
i'll never know
what might come next
viewocean's spray of salty sands like
sputtered minds loose sheath
melty matter oozing out
reveals what lies beneath
nothing
