When
he moves, I tumble.
I must not lean on him.
Touch him, feel him, yes.
He moves.
I need to put my weight on my own two feet.
Not on my leaning hands, but on my own healthy feet.
Then I would be ready to dance with him
You're my warm house slippers on
cold floors
You're the message of a lost civilization
You're by my side, stealing from the homeless
You're the dried snot on the cheeks of a child
and the food stains on its shirt
You, one of those little darlings who don't know what they
are
You make me want to talk like Auri, in rich lyric
You're a friendly reminder that it can be okay for little
while
When I'm with you
I'm not sad

Why do we still carry a device of
torture around our necks? Oh, how
rotten your pre-apocalypse is All you
bible-black fools living over nightmare ground
I see all
those empty cradles and wonder If man will never
change
