Dusty Myths

Floats the scattered chill child

Over his august cloud dream

Shrinking from blue canvass for the fields below

Clutching imaginary friends to second eyes

Frail body wracked with the force of gods

Escaping pain and parents

Rage locked deep within

A keepsake key mailed first-class to the future



He sits in cafes sipping tea

Chatting with his attitudes

Earthbound body without wings

His mind flies with angels and demons

A lesson in joy and pity

And they race the sun to the end of time

His lava soul flows in solemn solitude



Flees the crafted thrill child

From his february whirlwind nightmare

Screaming old words to overcast skies

Throwing enemies to fate before first eyes

Full body resists the force of dusty myths

Oblivion claims old skin

A baby's cry is the key

That opens a healed wound
