Two Months, Next Year

Sleep, past the alarm
And me, still late to fate
Discrete, a secret swan,
Sticky Gold, but still to wait
I wish you gave to me
Something borrowed, something blue
Your deal, twenty one
Still don’t fold, a spark combusts
Caesar’s appeal, expensive fun
Ripped by mold, et tu, mon dieu?
I see, the recall is never real,
It fades into, something new
The price, one ninety nine
Taunts by just one small touch
It’s a vice, the forgotten fruit
Coming down, twisted vine, wine dilute
I wish you gave to me
Something borrowed, something blue
A beet, an immortal complaint
Sweet and bold, but still smells so quaint
Head on the wall, My visions elate
Trickle down, it all gets faint

Splinter

Feet are glued to the ground she said
Look at who I've found, dead
So I stepped up to the mirror and said
Turn your head turn your head
Not knowing what to do
Not knowing
Who are you
Your precious skull
Is buried in the snow
And your bones are so frozen
And your spine is so crooked
Crooked as the earth
Stepped,
Not knowing who you are
But your hands feel broken broken broken
Electricity surges through your brain
And your crooked spine will never be straight
As you bend over
To tie your shoelace, to tie your shoelace
You're constantly racing
To tie your shoelace, to tie your shoelace
You want to erase me
And your bones will break
Withering away
And your fingers will splinter
Deep in your head
Stepped back into an eternity
As I count 7 to 12
Clock in 9 to 5
Brave enough just to turn right on every back street
Leading right back here
On this sidewalk, right where I walk
On this sidewalk, right where I walked with you
I'm finding my feet
After defeat
