Dumbfounded paralysis
encroaches on the past
Spending memory
while lavish lava
spits the wake of a breath

Everything that lasts
is fast and was first

  • to ignite the moon
    • to own reflection

Shaking hands
choke the roses
to clear a path and leave
a trail of bloody pricks

The good fight
lost a thought
in a cage
that it became
before it caved

But you don’t actually want
my thoughts on the page
And I don’t want
to pour out my soul
Besides, it’s a solid
or a gas
Either way

who knows
as the moment goes?
