(2013)
Wrote this after commuting to school one foggy day.
Once my beating heart Matched steel drum lines to-to-toe Teaching metronomes But now my beat has fallen Into syncopated depths
The darkest of nights It is on these nights I turn To these keys, clicking Fervently beyond reason Behind safely shadowed doors
I pray for the day When my mind is clear Silence, sweet silence Schemes and impulses forgone To live without a shadow
Red and orange glitter Dancing delicately high Above winding paths Falling to the great grey streams Falling for grace, or duty?
Sweet little black box From metalic elogy Sleep now, sing no more
Such sweet aroma Breathe in the color deeply Exhale precious wafts Crisp Citric spiral peelings, Fill my compost disposal
Bickering tree frogs Endless croaking back and forth Dream a soothing song One where two branches can meet In this capital forest
Delicate surprise From behind blind-folded eyes That glint of glitter Sprinkle, sprinkle, floating down We reach out, we grasp, we drink
A sudden rain flux A faintly calling whisper To turn off eyelids Yet I cannot shake my dream For just another hour
The spotlight glares down Bright, bright, sight, sight My cloak swiftly surrounds White, White, Swish, Swish, The fabric shell billows but stays
Perplexity breathes Into the hearts of all men In heart beat matters We shy our true intent like An elephant in the vent
Archaic toiling Through endless character streams To drown deeper still Beneath black and white waters Until I breathe symbolly
Why does music speak Without line or threads of time We plug ourselves in Forming an echo cocoon Never wanting to come out
The words are muffled and shifting… The pounding won’t stop, the fraye… I hold onto a thread, a little blu… The tension is mine; it is a pain… Frenzied energy drains from my fin…
Just for a moment To glimpse from dusty pages A single white flash Tenuous seconds follow Until a roaring reply
