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
