Focus

Focus me to the horizon
Let the clouds slip into my nostrils
Let me inhale the deep pools of carbon life

I start to loll
As I forget what watches are
The strange figure in the dark sooted suit walking on the brook
I sit in my chair in my room and imagine him
I’m traveling far distances

The mind mells with Moorish determination
I beg for focus 
Tauting the mast
