inside the gaze
I
want to be forgotten
a
forsaken unclean
I
want you picking bones
leaving
the air choked
with
dust covered clocks
I
want you to remember nothing
I
want you to feel everything
I
want you to know
each
beat that time steals
every
heart that is
a
master of organs
every
kind of flesh
that
subverts the brain
I
want you to know
insanity
is the new civilized
that
why is the new exhale
and
I want you to know
I
look for you in every new desire
I
just want to be forgotten
taken
to where mud is infinity
embraced
in sleeves
a
wrapped elliptical tease
a
river metaphor of love
and
cycled wean
I
want you to know
every
tomorrow will wait
because
today is the only currency
we've
got inside our pockets and palms
the
voices inside me say serve
give
what you can to inspire
burn
metal into skin
and
backdoor the hordes
say
every lord misrules
for
a purpose
you
can give me
a
title of jester
you
can tell me things
I
would never believe
I
will always crawl for you
I
will always call
the
trumpets of want
I
will always raze
every
wall I can
save
for the ones
I
keep myself behind
for
I may have been one day
a
bird, a fish, a word
or
a wish that was meant
to
be confined
where
memory
could
never find me
