for brooding

forbrooding, forbidding, forget
All that was once said, known
Thought that I had it all
So clearly the stars burning just for my I(s)
but this everalone thing; (j/J)ust swirling
Dervishes my fingers melt those so many ?’s inside
It all turns to this; a call and response, musing
Hoping that I never lose
This game played: all to give up that ghost
But,
Ah, but it doesnt mean nothing
Ever
Forever starbright blood bursting
Maybe, thats it, that thing, that so many dark smoky nights
The wall creeping in and out,
With so many breaths, rasping coughing blink blinking of
That godamned reminder
Time, running through these finger tips
So, ten or so, what; nothing
An eyeblink to this great big bluegreygreen wonder
This thing, floating, untethered, just as I
You
We, can be; be, you
Button downing the drain: being so subtlety subversive
Sheep, bahhing and braying: feed me
Need me, they say?; dont they
Need me, I need me
To create: you and them, and me and us
Its all that same
Colors mixing together, same fucking palate
Why do they hide
Just pieces in this puzzle,
A niche, this is mine, ours
So few, willing: claim your prize
Draw those wonderfilled moments
A clear vision of nothing at all
An opalescent, Vaseline on the window
Just for my(thou) pleasure
Squinting just right into the dawn fire
You can see those forevers that too many miss
