Time has no Shores - Marc Chagall

     I fail to acknowledge I'm on fire
   retain faith the next death dive ~
                           will put out the flames 
     beating my wings 
  makes me tire
        my haphazard composition
                           fills me with shame 

      I'd play myself a lullaby 
   though I've forgotten how to self soothe
         so just leave me 
     to stare up at the sky
       figure out what
  if anything   
          I'm trying to prove

          the weight of someone else's time
      seems affixed 
         to the scales on my skin
  whilst the pendulum swings
              closer to the chime
        I'm already exhausted
 with falsely ascribed sin 

        oh the ocean isn't the ocean 
   and the shore isn't the shore
              I'm sorry I caused this commotion
     I won't do it anymore
