The earth trembles
Gashes and gushes
Burial
Blue nothing
I die
Mourning takes time
Slowly cramping
Not even more tolerable
Transfer united
Air wheels
Empty boots
Bloodied
Bad weeds
Hooded hopes
Drunk and high
I dive and drown
Wasted tide
Wasted body
Wasted mind
Wasted life
Where am I?
Who am I?
Nothing holds anymore
Empty
Empty
Everything empty
The wind is dead
Just as well
There is no harbor
Movable parts
Removable future
No vision
I am lost
Test results
Clear majority of dimwits
And war profiteers
Dreaming of another something
Another somewhere
Another somebody
Who?
What?
Stole my dream
I am not even asking WHY?
I want it back
My dream that is
So I can live it
Broken up
I make everything count
For a wish to hold on
Playing poker with time
On probation of course
Class over
Did you learn anything?
Shall I put cream on the sole of my feet?
Years… Foreclosure
Impatiently waiting for a revolt
A fight
To erase it all
Better die from one's passions
Than die of boredom
Thank you Oscar!
Stalking truths without a face
Too many coincidences
What's the difference?
Wish I could head home
But…
WHERE IS HOME?
