there is no front back or side door until you give meaning to this madness
floating as a phantom pariah amongst cosmic gas clouds
neon tendrils pulling the strings on this puppet body
an interval at thirty five to ponder the second half of life how nice
the things i’d say to you as the last light leaves this plane of existence
a burnt shoulder to lean on as tears converge with the eternal flow
curtains play as the cat finds itself another spot in paradise
autumn winds urging the body to remember its name
and if i could i would like to live this beautiful life in a single line
