(0263) an embryonic awakening in reverse

say i love you. say i hate you. say i wanted to go die with you. say i need you. say i leave you. say i wanted to believe in you. would it fit right on that finger? people pass by. people linger. people hide out. people whisper. we can't breathe here. we can't stay here. we will not succumb to the strangling fear. would it help to play your game? weather changes. weather stays the same. understanding is the feeling. scaled downward towards the end of life. watching bubbles float to the surface. if i find you, would you notice me or would you disappear into the forgetfulness of the sea?

in the hard tissue of bones, we won't find what we're looking for. i'll keep you bolted in my head, but tomorrow, there's no turning back. unaware of who i am, i forgive them for not making sense.

get up like the rest of day. walk until i'm far away and take a taxi to see the end.

frequent in the same place that you'll probably always hide within. fog of your delusion remains, and it won't go away nor clear. muted from the cost of truth; washed inside out from the very start.

lay down like the rest of night. sleep flows through the gutter like wet cement inside my skin.

some go where the water lies. an embryonic awakening in reverse that can't be taught. others chase their needs into a vacant sky. the memories make up my colors and clear my blurry sight.

the distance in our eyes is exactly the same length, but the focal point is not your face. the distance in our eyes is exactly the same length, and the focal point will never change.
