Scatterthoughts

So our heroes appear, washed up on the shore of a desert island far from home

In the churning of generational tides, I see an opening, a crack

A way to make the world that they’ve seen closer to the world that they want it to be

My spirit’s been writhing, reaching towards the light shined by darkness

Slowly as trees bend

Branches

Hanging across timelines

I’ll learn my essence in each one

Whether brimstone or pearl, fashion me like diamonds

Spread the seeds of my truth like reincarnation

Carnations

The way ideas flower

The way the world twist round towards justus

Within each day, I know that I’m the one

To find my way before the darkness comes

I stay up late till I see the morning sun

So I can find my way among everyone

STUPIDITY BURNS HOLES IN MY BRAIN THE WAY MILITARISM CUTS A HOLE IN MY SOUL

*cue the fuzz guitar*

Someone said they’d like to know somebody

And some would say they don’t know what that means

But all I know is that to know somebody, you know the part of your self that can see them for who they are

Who they truly are
