In a room with no sun,
my heart molds.
In a world with no soul,
my center folds.
Come azimuth of my future,
Break shatter fall.
Erupt.
Explode.
Shine.
Destroy.
In a place with no paths,
my feet slide.
In a house with no home,
my eyes die.
Northern star seek my present.
Build lift raise.
Watch the sand drip along the dunes
Grains trailing along past the stones
Piles pierced by dead bushes
Thorns discarded like flowers of pain
Pick up my face
Put it on my face
Feel the role settle in
Smile grimly at fate.
The dance begins
I slip
I stand
The music spins
I kick
On hands
Hear the beat
Hear the drums
Life calls to me
Legs move
I sway
The fiddler plays
Angels clap
Devils grin
A thousand roles,
a thousand faces,
A hundred million helpless cases.
The dust settles
The mask grins
Am I me?
Or am I him?
Life a role,
a duty,
a trial,
a challenge,
a hope,
a heartbeat,
forever and never.
She
Her
Him
Heaven’s
He
Reasons I have
Hopes to hold to
Purpose to show
Dreams to go
Coffee in Styrofoam
Eternity in discarded dust.
Apologize for nothing.
