technicality meets creativity

afloat

 afloat

 

see a world with no friction
where people actually listen
love could be different

  but the rumble’s still persistent

burnt on the pavement
no grace no stipulations
her own reflection hides away

voices of the water
scream as i watch her
fall down        
    down
 
down 
further

 she talks for so long she
can’t recognize her own voice
in her head of freedomless will

she treads water to stay
   afloat
for you
for him
for her

crystalline eyes blinded by
noxious sounds of digital cities
idyllic minds, innocently aghast

swathed in suffocating rubies

saturated in this swamp
drenched by insidious wasps
entitled intelligence 

voices of the water
scream as i watch her
drown in misery  
          a blur
    of liquor 
she slurs 

timeless this moment
cookie cutter girl, so intent
slow seamless wash, so potent 

can you hear her shriek?
hits the brakes she escapes
even the water lies to me 
she despises restraint, the sea  

she treads water to stay
  afloat
for me.
for you?
no more
