moseying down wind
navigating rocks by the river
tide pulling in
creatures in earshot
of the empty sin
the blue vibrations
on the surface
ripples patterning
to the familiar
it’s not going to help
the water’s so unclean
and I’m the one responsible
lady liberty
please don’t look back
over your shoulder
we’re gonna get behind
please don’t look back
over your own
the past is prone
to open fire
inside the patch
the sacrifice
you thought was home
only the guise
now you may feel
you had no choice
you may have lost
your identity
but trapezoidal points
are filling the void
and healing your energy
please run off the track
the back of your head is eyeless
so don’t let it lead
don’t let it pick up mileage
he hasn’t felt seen
in a while
the esteem
of the wild vine leaves
in his hair
the eviction is a scam
so he says, so he says
only damaged myself
in wandering again
do not place my robe
leave my wrist
man pulls himself out
of the river
we didn’t see him there
please don’t look back
over your shoulder
mind your allegiance
most conversations are tired
have been had before
but sometimes, it doesn’t matter
when there's excitement found
in the same conversation
with a new person
