Little Down

Staring down the drain
Thinkin it might be a good place to stay
Maybe just for a day
Maybe for a little longer
Little longer
If you need me
I'll be cracked open
Scattered at sea
Eaten by sharks
This time I'm swarmed
A howling buzzing warmth
Begins to shape and form
Knocks me upside down on my head
Down on my head
If you need me
I'm doubled over
I cannot see
Who plays my part
I took a bite of the ripe and bright
With my might, I fought a good fight

Scratching away
At the tight knit fabric
Hugging so close to your skin
The monsters are coming
Mouths wide open
Lickin their lips at me again
But oh no
My body is long
And I'm hanging from the ceiling
Don't know where I end or begin
Who I thought was my friend
Is sliding me backwards
No friction to stop my movement
Oh no
Can't put my mouth
In the shape it needs to be
To spit out
Sound it out
Can't put my hands
In the shape they need to be again
To feel it out
Feel it out
Oh no
I reckon I've gone somewhere new
New to me

Tiny Thoughts

You're not a poet
Just a cynic
and your defiance against the rest is unrealistic
You're only as warm
As the mouths you feed
And the buzzing bees
Escaping from your ears
I am not my body
Just a shadow pet
Waiting for something that hasn't happened
Is it coming yet?
For now it's circles
Around the mouths I feed
And the dying bees
Fallin from my ears
Muddled up
Or utter quiet
All your tiny thoughts
They turn to giants
In a fleeting motion
A wave in god's green ocean
Anticipated commotion
Before it's even a notion
All your tiny thoughts
They turn to giants

Like a body
Full of concrete
You sank into the sea
We did not believe it
Your glossy eyes came to
Realize the new blue view
Your wobbly legs can't move
The way they used to
Drown it out
Like a body
Full of nothing
You splashed into the sea
They did not believe it
Then your war-torn eyes
Refound the great white
You felt the fury fight
You felt the do or die
Drown it out
Overboard you are overboard
Half a body and your sea legs worn
Overboard you are overboard
Blood and laughter
Can you swim to shore?

I couldn't pick you out of a lineup
But you make up my darkest part
I saw 16 by a tree in my sleep
Doomed to die right from the start
Young hands they grasp at flesh
At sheets at breath at a cloudy yes
Young minds so sure they'll find a peace
Their time they're finally fine they're finally fine
Fine
You found your place in the depth of my palm read
Hovering beneath my skin
A spirit guide tried to get you to float away
Roots and leaves growing thin
Young mouths they search for sounds
For harsher tones unsolid ground
Young breath it wreaks of death
Of faith unsolved and dispossessed
I'm finally fine I'm finally fine
Fine
I'm fine
Or just farther in time
Say no
