#glu2

Sharp tack, swallow shame The gnawing blame A coming spring To bring back violently alive

Every fucking thing A silent ring crescendoing An insect hive on overdrive

Sunlight flooding in Bloodied its knives Cutting my eyes open wide

Can't shut them anymore And I'm better for it What a gift, this world to witness

At the penny store Bought a metaphor I'm a shooting star on Christmas

I’m a big bright beam And I fight so clean A kite that captured lightning

Enlightened when the bolt connected It hurt like heaven A course corrected A happy ending

So stay

So keep me strapped to the bed Drugged and fed Pull no plug, I'm feigning brain dead A sleep of bliss Oh, clever queen A kiss could never intervene Intravenous interruptions have become a custom Curated corruption From stupid kid to just dumb EKG beeps are mountain peaks A thousand sheep have filled the valley Too high to tally, too late to say stay.

Come slide into complacent Hide in hibernation with me Come on, ride the train to wasted time Embrace the grace of the grime Face the climb ahead and shake Hit that brake Quit. until you’re dead, just fake it
