The night is dark and I'm jealous
A buzzard feasting on the corpse of yesterday
I look at the sun and my memory is vague
Peering through the naked trees
The brown arching to meet the lake
A long walk from home
Just a landfill axolotl, a weird computer
In wispy currents of orange and blue
Before you know it, it's too late, and life
Is coming undone like the stitches of a wound
Coming undone like a wrong calculation
Spots of blood trickle into a blind eardrum
And the seeds we planted grow cities
Remembering you long after the scent is gone
The bedsheets are cold
I take a dose just to numb the pain
Touch wood and wish I could start again
But love is the ghost of a memory with an ancient hangover
Methane emissions delicate like my Achilles heel
Looking into crystal balls, I don't know how to feel
Roaming through the moor of spellbinding truths
Like wading through the muddy waters of realisation
I like fingering things, the hole deepening
Skeletons discovered in excavations
The war between two minds, an atom separating
Tears of sand in our deforestation
Trees growing fungus, thorny tongues
Misspelling words, trying on clothes and smiling
When they fit, eating until my stomach bulges
But still, I need help.
