Atlas Meets Eos
For a long time now I have been lugging your dead weight around It lies there crippling my mind rending my gut cramping my style weighing me down And yet I cannot leave it behind Although I cannot move ahead I wish you’d just Disintegrate Incinerate Evaporate over the mountains into grey dust beneath the riverbed I wish you’d just bid me a tearless adieu show me a weightless ray and let me be Cuz for a long time now I have been lugging your dead weight around… |
A Mural Once Told Me
Guided by the moonlight And the lamps below I bounced right off treetops In through your window You can but stare at me I stand, a proud shadow on your wall I smiled, waited for you While you tossed and turned You then looked towards me Slumber you had burned You can but stare at me I stand, a handsome shadow on your wall You tried hard to catch me Flashing low and high Slyly did I dodge you My home’s in your eye You can but stare at me I stand, a cunning shadow on your wall You blinked at me in awe And gazed at my face My branched and leafy form Like patterns on lace You can but stare at me I stand, a mangled shadow on your wall You spoke and you laughed Happy as can be Then I saw a teardrop Hide beneath your glee You can but stare at me I stand, a kindly shadow on your wall You may leave tomorrow Or decide to stay But I sure will love you Through all night and day You can but stare at me I still stand, a mere shadow on a wall |
