Fade Away
Quickly fade away,
slip between all the cracks they have
tried to stop up
slip down below where no one can touch you.
Unravel, unwind, fray
at the seams of your soul,
quick set free from skin
past the boundary of
physical.
Enter air and atom,
surrender to dark desire,
he calls below.
"Come down, come down!"
but what they do not realize,
you are nowhere above them.
Slip through fiber and skin
fall apart,
no one is looking
no one will notice
no one will see.
Quickly fade away
slip out and
exhale slow
exhale yourself from this cage
of body and mind
deny the heart
stop the lungs
numb the touch
blind the eyes
mute the tongue
deafen the ears.
Fade out of this place
into the steady rhythm of a
flat-line__________
