We All Need Something

we all need something to die for what is this shell in an ocean ghosts with fleshy hosts a divine strike across the anvil the expression of something bigger finally understanding yet realizing we are laying on the bathroom floor this pin hole in the blanket of intellect the gross unfathomable leering with a smirk here there and ever after who will narrate we all want to live forever until life's meaning was still a blank space left void for the next scab to work our lines the temple built on backs energy dispersed unlike a ripple tendrils of smoke dance upward sea snakes looking for a breath croaking near a pond crickets on a warm evening the chirping of the cherubs sitting on the sofa sending thoughts into the future grace cannot alone hold our hands and carry our weight we didnt start this walking upright swimming in a bubble not sure which way looking two sided mirrors my child form still an inspiration my hands worth more than silver limits part of perception the gauging of our life spans we all need something to die for
