dust builds up again/ so thick underneath this lucid frame/ seemed like centuries ago/ when your cloth erased my pain/ linger in this flame/ purity burning out desires/ oh, but flesh folds faster/ yes, this skin will tremble under cages made up of alligater wire/ clenching deep into my bones/ caught here between time and traveling/ cruelty replacing the unknown/ may the music of bitterness and/ repression not hold us down/ the city smog spells fury/ wings of urgency begging/ to grow and leave this town/ when forever feels like such an eternity/ because bliss wont blacken our blue/ this tawny hide/ can't take the beating/ scars thickened and dripping against you/ lets skip the generalities/ paste faces upon our miseries/ and free-fall...
Reason for writing:
just stream-of-consciousness writing about being stuck in one place and wanting so badly to move onto another...i was playing with language and rhyme, so dont read too deeply into it! :)
