A Bottled Ship
--
Disaster without a face
All that awaits
At the in-between state
The cliff of seas and questions
If my parents loved me, why do I hate myself ?
What is this loop?
Where is true unity?
You crystal lattice
You vibrating infinity
Where is it? A genuine destiny
I want to see the constraints of your pain
I want to know that it never ends
That it will never make any goddamn sense
Find the swords that severs
the weak ties, their surprising strength
The inner spies
“He ate a cookie. He told a bad joke. He didn’t honor his father properly”
Who is this report for?
Who is this man?
Watching his half-spent life
His endless refusals
And still such an ungrateful prick
Still! After hearing His many hosannas
“Here
here, I am here — Life!
Life eternal”. I hear you Lord
- Sotto voce
mirrored shadow
A boy cries
I should fix those floorboards
I should exhume my garden
A man is a waterfall
After all
How does that one song go?
How did that one jingle go?
Did he really enjoy the strawberry?
- Sotto voce
Muffled wails
Spent tissues
Bottled ships
Take my tongue
Take his face
And still we will meet
You and I on the cliffs of infinity
You and I in the empty space
Where ocean met the purple sky
Still we will sail
You and I
Through the white canvas walls
You and I
Raised and buried
You and I
Twice-blessed
You and I, finally of some use
