my heart is hands
my head are feet
steadily holding those pearls
that were my eyes
we are gliding through the mist
kissing it with this glass
and under our blue lights
watch the road begin to pass
synapses connected
my sinews will break
i know not this distance
and i'm at a loss
i'm catching my tears on these knuckle scars
because i now know how kings remain
after life is lost
i've seen this beginning
and how it ends
but only in my dreams
fading away
early morning eyes
your darkened ridges
our gazes fixed
and you wonder
how we don't drift to sleep
staring at the light
what's inside?
