It’s This Snow That Is Hurtling Towards Me

It’s this snow that is hurtling towards me
How can you not want to be a part
Of this white mess
That throws itself about

With wild abandon baby

It’s having a field day
Soft and wild
I want to be like that.

Two chances.

I’m starting to eat nuts again,
Dried apricots
Change must be a comin’
Whenever I eat like a squirrel
I’m going to shed my skin
And this one is so tired
Anyway

Might shed my skin
And peel away
Flakey like
Into another world.

The interior will stay the same
I like interior decoratin’.

And there ain’t nothing like it
White blur

Amongst the sticks
And twisted brown
The insignificant
Addendum to a wind.

infinitesimal
thoughtful
brilliance

Navigating the soul

Closing my eyes
I know where I am going baby
Oh yeah.

There I am cleaning my wings
This white is coated in a brown film
As I wove and duck
Dived deep down into stretches of life
These wings got tainted.
Baby.

But nothin’
Will make me
Take back

Go back
And stop that dive

Cause I learned
How much I loved the
White bright light.

Now I get that redemption
Thing
Just spare me the
Homilies
