Double Take

Folder: 
2016

Your convoluted logic can

 

Throw me

off

my feet.

 

Whisper the silence of the river

in my dreams.

 

But if I begin to break a promise you

 

Push me

off

the cliff.

 

You’re controlling the wings that guide us,

make them crash into that sea.

 

We’re crawling through a slit in the sky and

 

Ending

all

these lives.

 

But no, it’s just a soul, a few, a hundred,

miles to go, it’s the least they can do.

 

My shadow shivers in your wind but

 

The echo

haunts

me through.

 

A hopeless battle I’ll never win, maybe

this time you’ll come home.

 

Running through breezes, ecstatic, then you explode

 

Gives me

a

double take.
