Matchflame 03:39
Ceaseless and deep, the light is becoming Garners the common to garnish and charm me Vignetted, specked, and brined for the keeping But what I see in RGB seems to burn like a match flame Into nothing I feel like more than body and gender But if not a soul, I’m just what I remember I wake up in love with everything I see Grieving for time I’ve spent staring at other people’s memories Mourn for moments that won’t come back again Gone as soon as the next began, spent and swallowed up Mourn for portions lived vicarious and cold Unaware that the passing glow Could be all we are

Underneath the thunder afternoon The city flared like a marigold in bloom Spoiled in the orange light I knew I couldn’t find in myself the mind to muse Parch my heart, I’m full to the brim Gone so far my head starts to spin Soaking in what we want We get hunger-starved Parch my heart, I’m sleepless again I’m leaving empty-pocketed at dawn To find the heavier breath I used to draw Cause I’ve been looking down with no idea what I’m looking for And when I find something good, I just scroll and scroll for more Parch my heart, I’m full to the brim Echoes of the person I’ve been If the things we want Become the things what we are Starve my heart, I’m listless again

I’m sorry I’m so blurry I spent the whole night stirring In dreams that keep recurring, they play like truth I swell up with darkness and I’m not sure what starts it Since I’m facing it less often, the portions grew Still, the morning semblance Is still and warm and pleasant Still the tired questions hang deep in me Maybe I’m too anxious Maybe I’m just faithless I’m scared of occupation posing as peace It’s gotten easier to skim right over the blues But when I dull one hue, all the others dull too I swell up with darkness, I swell up with darkness But it brings a feeling sweet and conscious that I don’t want to part with

Put down the cell phone Stand in the window Study the shadow Switch off the porch light Follow the moth flight Suddenly undefined In the dark of night, in the dark Without any silence I get so compliant Convinced of the rites I know I lose touch with the limbo And the impulse we follow After the door is closed And in the dark of night, in the dark I am wild and alive The terror sparks this heavy light More beckoning than reason In the mess of mind, in the mess I am so taken by what I find With my perception unconfined The senses overwhelm me
