Am I still supposed to listen
While this rupture’s bursting open?
The world’s been split and broken.
The yoke that held me closely,
Made of my devotion,
Kept me, loved me, told me stories that would mold me.
A tension pulled me tightly.
It could hurt or hold me.
It taught me crucial limits.
Now a distant aspect
In my jaded field of vision.
Oh! It left me swimming
Feeling weightless wading waters.
Over sunken islands, missing forests, deep in silence.
All of it unfathomed,
All of us forsaken.
Call off the calling,
We’re too far endangered.
I am going deeper
Pulling chains of forgotten anchors.
I once embraced the fractures.
The ships evading markers.
If we could escape our bodies,
Future’s would replace us,
Sublating our relations.
Instead, it left us aimless,
Atomized, and nameless.
I am going deeper,
Lost anchors…
I’m a diving-bell in lost atmospheres.
Barely a speck, a spot in these waters,
I only can fall.
My thoughts are like wind in my ears.
I am alive because I am still here.
I’m pieces and puzzles
The ifs and the was that I’ve wondered,
From what I remember.
Blood barely matters when even in falling
I’m moved by the flow of desire.
The throes of lament,
The long fall as I long just to be caught.
To be returned to the myth of myself.
I only can fall.
I am going deeper.
Lost anchors…
There’s no wayward or wayside.
No always, no halfway, or way out.
There’s no Right now.
No Just then.
This sunk earth with nowhere to touch down.
You think you know right?
Do you know wrong?
Well, go try.
When your soul sinks
I’ll be here in my nosedive.
We’ll go along the same place
As ghost die.
Where there’s no what to learn why.
No knowns to hold high.
No trust to stand by.
