Chicken Finger Sunday
Just a single conscious decision,
hanging in the palm of your hand
A quavering sensation
breathing in subsequent rhythm, a pulse
dripping from the band
All these motifs around me
and I'm just a stagnation in time
Never will be or is the same as
each second lapsing behind
Carrying around moments as my burden to bare,
and trying to stop my eyes from looking into this seismic solar flare.
The ground is sighing beneath my feet or is it attempting to just break free,
a living mechanism of one's will and thought leeching from my soul the memories I have wrought.
Focused on the grass photosynthesizing in it's summer glare
the heat could never reach me from its pinnacled spot 10,000 feet in the air.
Casting shadows on the ground segregating the widow at it's peak
all the while attempting to hide what I could never seek.
Uprooting life around me clawing at the source of their refrain
stretching out with feline grace gathering acidic drops of thoughts that have become deranged.
Open mouth is bleeding and narrow eyes are never seeing
the subconscious insanity soaking in them and the constant lies it's breeding.
The shadows black out the light as day smears into night,
pendulous orbits of moons and stars that are destined to collide.
Gravitating towards the abyss, senses revealing the things I missed
and from the seems futile screams are starting to vindictively drip.
