Liquefied


Come, meet this thriving force within
Striving sensations warm my skin
Nature has her way with me
Senses idle in the summer heat

Pouring from my dreams I swallow oh so neatly
I think of going up, of a pretty way to stop

Arteries of dripping sky edge most serenely
taking over my thoughts in loose tendrils
striking at the frailty of men, still, 
I will soar

Dusty roads I walk down licking up the oil slick
My hair stuck to leather in a burning rubber drift
Booze artist, fly on the wall,
Bloodshot bar room fantasy.
I cry, come clean
Infused by morbid curiosity
The lap of viscous juices, 
this my narcosis by naivety. 


Stumbling down the path of time.
There’s gravel in my skinned knees.

Crank up the gears
blue ghosts blinding me
I am the daughter of unforgiven nights

Exiled from their sinking cities,
pulling tricks and sucking on smoke stacks
follow me out to the warmest waters
silent deliverance in the great white something

Listen,
I said listen, just this once
You who took what once was mine
so all I have is a list to carry me through my days
Hear me,
I can walk on water, swim through concrete,
burn down the peaks you seek with but a whisper

Track me through peak hour, a sleepless tarmac wanderer
ice on bone slipping from the tip of my tongue
the craving for freefall
the streaming wind is a lost touch
a longing left at the side of the road.
