Revival
Remove the complicated
Untangle the awning
Cut cords, bind the ties
Finally getting what you’ve been wanting
Never saw colors so vibrantly
Frost just melting off me
I’m thawing
Tasting like I’ve never eaten
Cracked my halo
Carve it into horns
I’m reigning free
Like I’ve been reborn
Except happy is a top a slope
That’s slippery
As a mountain steep
Covered in ice sheets
I’ve been hearing lullabies
Like the good is coming
But then the baby cries
And the storm starts humming
It’s guttural and raw
Pure starving beast
I’m demanding like a doe
Fast then slow, then just release
Exit by my pocket rib
Slip through my bone cage
The vest has holes
Makes walking away easy
Remember to breath
My pulse pivots carelessly
Not tracking the rhythm of my feelings
Alarms are sounding warning me
