Story Shift

Pieces 

A puzzle dazzling the ether 

Surround the systems 

Folding gracefully backwards

Who watched it fall 

Caught up in the maze

Sizzle words that pinch 

Along the shore these dead fishes dance 

Moon maestro directing her orchestra

Just here on a string 

With the wonder 

Surrendering the last drips 

Thoughts that weave the shelters 

Fear living next to fear

Letting the pawns build the board 

Rinse repeat programming 

It will come 

And so it shall 

Little children who’ve yet to play 

Inside the prison of self 

William the shadow 

William the jester

William the whore 

William who ignores the softer way 

Darkness rises up your sun

Stand together 

Interlocking moves designed to absorb the blow 

Forceful without action 

Not to wait

To lift in stillness 

Collected trinkets for a ceremony 

Burn the old versions 

Graves in the urban farm

Paint makes it new after you say your peace 

Later 

Your Thoughts
