in a flash

into the great fade
we fold up
and show
    great desire and fear
   
the accidental brute
the eternal mistake
of trying to compute
silliness in your slow and simple death

baby
i sing to thee
like bumblebees
 caught in the moon
   there is all this light and yet i cant see without the sun
                which way will get me
        anywhere

i watch it all
from a pile of rubble
sad attempt at subtly
 while killing everything you love
 with shaking hands
trying to save everything

doll
i offer up to you
like a boat trapped in sand
 all the winds filling my sail
  and there are waves the crest and peak
but my ability to move is bleak
and i haven't seen a drop of water in
             forever

and slowly fade
             standing still
              i swear i still feel your hand
           somewhere
