In life there are times

Where all I want to do is hide my face

A mask

Persay

To hide all my selfish faults

and grieves away

The mask has many forms

Changing my bloody face

From love

to hate

I hate the fake smile

Sewn with bitter lace

Sometimes I wish it was permanent

Like eternal sickness

So it will never fall

and show my weakness

But when my body aches

and misty delusion clouds me

I wrap my fingers around the evil

Pull it

Rip it

Tear it

Unbound me

For when the tears in my eyes cease to fall

And it feels like I have not changed at all

Is when my arms spread wide

I shout out

My last

dying call

At night I wander long

Even on cold nights

I wander for long hours

Transfixed by the shadow of the moon

At night when everyone is gone

Hushed by silence I lay

For still in the length of night

Creatures stir

I hum a tune

Long forgotten in little bits

Long to remember the lyrics

Dying in my sleepless lips

In the still darkness

I often hear a shallow voice

Softly beckoning me

To make a choice

In silence I ask myself

Why

In my mind

In my spirit

In my life

Happiness eludes me

The red Turtle

Drifts in eternity without reason or purpose

Curiosity lures her further

Further onto jutted islands

That sing gentle melodies to those who wish to hear

In the depths of darkness

On the brink of death

Lays the wandering turtle

A human stroke

Stirs the death

Awakened by his touch

Through darkness and light

Through time and peril

The hand holds tight

Tight against another

For love binds all

When dark clouds roll forward

And a fire that once was

Simmers out

Touch the dying hand

For now she lets go

Back where she came

Back in the dark waters below

For the turtle is glad

Glad to have made it thus far

Without simmering out

Without letting go

One second

What do they do when their bike chain breaks from under the weight of the world?

Will they collide with it?

Will they be broken?

What do we do when the sweat on our brow

falls and blurs our vision?

Do we brush it away?

Do we go blind?

What do you do when the sidewalk protrudes from the ground? Its goal in mind, to make you fall.

Do you fix the uneven cracks?

Do you collapse?

The sun beats down on you and your vehicle. Cancerous and angry.

In the heat of midsummer, all life bows down in resignation.

Perhaps this is why Helios was worshipped for so long.

Perhaps this is why humans like to make it cooler.

And in doing so… provoke Gaia’s wrath.

I guess in the end… my bike and I asked for it.

It’s very brave

What is?

Everything.

Everyone.

How so?

They exist.

They are eternal.

But…

But what?

Nothing. Just. Nothing.

No my friend.

No what?

Everything. Just. Everything.
