Interlude One | This Fracture
The Lifetime KidsThe world is a fracture,
And you and I in it too completely,
Absolved from reality, minds the toe to the foot
We walk on.
And you and I in it too completely,
Absolved from reality, minds the toe to the foot
We walk on.
I see leaves, now,
Like timeless ephemera, the autumnal
Equinox that drifts – winter, soon,
You and I in it too completely
Like timeless ephemera, the autumnal
Equinox that drifts – winter, soon,
You and I in it too completely
To see the flower heads that bud,
The loam that salivates from land,
Hungry, starving, craving those
Who skip the flint-teeth.
The loam that salivates from land,
Hungry, starving, craving those
Who skip the flint-teeth.
The world, you and I in it too
Completely. My mind the eye, your body
A lash, fluttering, sealing, lidding
White sclera.
Completely. My mind the eye, your body
A lash, fluttering, sealing, lidding
White sclera.
The world – our fracture – splits like skin,
Heals over in petal, with us in it too completely,
Heals over in petal, with us in it too completely,
Heads dreamlike, wrapped around
Ivy.
Ivy.
Resplendent, now, as sun,
In it too completely to see by the blinding
Light, striding through kaleidoscope
Of us, our completeness, our
In it too completely to see by the blinding
Light, striding through kaleidoscope
Of us, our completeness, our
Infatuation with the split,
Where we find ourselves: Toes, feet, veins,
Where we find ourselves: Toes, feet, veins,
Man. More than the plant-life,
The temporal,
The temporal,
The little things that lose themselves,
Like we lost ourselves too completely
To this world, to this
Fracture, to this-
Like we lost ourselves too completely
To this world, to this
Fracture, to this-
Reality.
