big star
03:08
|

everybody’s dreams are losing steam
from the start
spoonfed celebrity
and so, death obsessed,
go figure
are empowered? deluded?
or just pacified?
squabbling for the smallest thrones
in our corners
like right now
i saw the path of decline
long before you fell
and already,
i can see your big star falling

if our poetry
may lengthen and conceal
if our light
will linger and overwhelm
if our memories
neither blur nor fade
then i will outlive you
you will outlive me

crisis
06:55
|
|||
glue back together what you know won’t hold
put it off again
at least until the money’s there
who’s ready for forever yet? ever?
can you hold your breath a little longer?
one more year,
one more year,
one more year of waiting for your life to start

pulses
04:11
|

ticking clock
substitute heartbeat
we find no attachment
without patterns
like dots become eyes
as noise shapes words
blink twice for yes
move so i know you’re alive
or like a candle that neither flickers nor dies
you are beyond understanding
ticking clock or a heartbeat
what’s the difference either way

nemesis
06:50
|
|||
enemy mine, will you face me?
my one dedicated opponent
eyes and shoulders set against me
ready to fight
ready to die
never showed up
around every corner is a turned back
yes you suffer, but…
why not
so when your bones splinter
when your cry is cut short
as you stand against the steamroller
don’t dream for a second
that the driver bats an eye
