further away

warm wind blowing
bubbles in the juice
keeps it going
until it can go no further
away from the point
to the track
will get back on top of that
is all I am at liberty to say
understand is to lie flat
back up from the edge
is too sharp 
corners become rounded
bend and head above water
gets deeper with every step
closer need a better look
no further away from this spot
may never come clean
the mess is intolerable
noise coming from the window
opens and down we fall
back to the beginning
a chain reaction
speaking louder than this
somewhat incomplete
sentence making no sense
to give you what you need
to dig deeper down from high
times or low tide moon being seen
bury bones build bigger problems
getting older and wiser some still
go further away from now
same or not
doesn't matter
of fact presented a prize
new contract squeeze a little tighter
around the throat
swelling too much to swallow
all at one time and with each word
moving forward but
further away from the point...
