[Scattered All Over]
papers scattered all around my room
And a letter opened and exhumed
Frantically ripped apart at the seams
In attempts to catch the tail end of a dream

But in the trash lain across my floor
Mostly miscellaneous or mail fodder
I lifted up the story left
By the pages that I’d unthinkingly kept

One day all the loose ends will be gone
And I'll have nothing to hide from
Like a pop up book slowly opening
I’ll see myself between each page

And as i read the timeline of my life
I grew further disconnected further out of sight
I began to recollect upon my childhood
I began to occupy what I never understood

Every unfinished fiction I would make
All of the normalties that never took place
Most of the nothings I never went through
All the every-things I still have yet to lose

One day all the loose ends will be gone
And I'll have nothing to hide from
Like a pair of jaws closing down
Clenching me inside it’s cage

[Sunward Current]
Now just the sunset
Rusted recollections
I hear the tail of your breath
It’s hollow when you’re not here
Alone and so formless
erase the rain
So far away
Now just the sunset

Hollow when you’re not here
So bring me close
Scattered across the sky
But this stasis is my own

Up into the country
Some hidden road
In the ivy and silence
All overgrown
Scattered across the sky
But this stasis is my own

Now just the sunset
Rusted recollections
I hear the tail of your breath
It’s hollow when you’re not here
Alone and so formless
erase the rain
So far away
Now just the sunset

Now just the sunset
Rust forming in stasis
avoid the trail to the summit
It’s hollow when you’re not here
So warm and electric
All hidden deep
Don’t go away
Now just the sunset

[Still Life]
Under electric skies I am the spool
Now spilling out from inside my room
I’m folding maps into more idealistic locations

yesterday I tied my shoes
my bicycle back tire wouldn’t move
I took my bag and circled the neighborhood
everything is a part of it
it’s never too late to have a happy childhood
