[failed with words (lost in
translation (stumbling over
temptation (feet first can't keep
his balance (his mind detaches
itself from the rest (failed with
words) and just like the rest)
swaying before the fall) frozen
in time) trying too hard) to create
the perfect song]
[failed with thought (the rain drenches
all of us(pounding thoughts
of sunshine through the thick gray
(voices needing to be heard above
all (bellowing through the 8th ocean
(failed with words) guidance brought
to a high point) from where silence held
a hand) staring upward in a cross legged
sit) still as a statue, inside moving
outside) trembling as the cold wind
moves through light clothing]...
[one thought (inside another,
aside (thought breaking—interrupting
myself again (tornado twisting everything
(branches from the same tree (one thought
buried) falling over and over) I thought I had
straightened it out once and for all) as long as
I am awake) break in some action) surfaces]
[seems strange (the muse (desperately
seeking the furthest star (looking for
answers (underneath it all (one thought
buried) we are all confused) flipping over
rocks)tar covering my wings, slowing
my flight) doesn’t see me) pushing for
the impossible to exist]
[return to the long hallway (wish he could
stand closer (inching away for fear
(totally paralyzed by the eyes (doesn’t
want to speak (one thought buried)
up to his neck with thought) crazy neck
feeling) it might be screaming) heart thumping
so loud he know it can be heard) he pokes
his head out to say good night]
[darkness arrives (with no hope
attached (cutting gravity’s fingers
(re-living memories for a glimpse
of total happiness (got it bad or
hopeless, just plain sad or
romantic (one thought buried)
descriptions received) laughing
at the thought) escaping) just a
simple end) too soon]
