Trance-Like State

Suddenly fire on fire,
Wonder higher,
Artistic desire,
Wonder at the heavens,
Collapsing with each breath,
It is my death.

Stumbling through childhood places,
Pass me by,
Like childhood faces,
Ash-graven sky,
And freedom of loneliness.

Faster she said,
Like a drop in the ocean,
The nervous laugh of neighbours fates,
The ghost of the pasts,
Fighting face.

Finally running from death to death,
From door to door,
You know the score,
One opens,
'Past catch up with you,Endyminion'?
Keep running she says.

Ghosts walking through my torso,
Waiting whispering friends lost in the melee,
'Fight them you fool,'
She says.
