Postman Syndrome Unfamiliar Ceiling
Guessing where the coins would fall, they carried on
for hours with a compass and a set of keys- backpacks
packed and floating just above their pretty heads.
Poised to dive and immolate ten thousand years of
moistened lips, for one less kiss they're willing to
let all the angels lay claim to their territory and
sleep with their lights on for personality. They
stumble through darkness while reaching for fleeting
moments: "The Glory shall be yours and you all shall be
as God..."
Don't let the songs fall without a word. Impending
nova, I'll watch you all burn.
Running from a heart of clay, they ate with severed
limbs and gambled well into the previous day, risking
wings from angels that they couldn't afford to repay in
word, or deed, or selfish thought. If seraphim are
pulling strings they'll find their wings and become one
King for a lifetime, and Kong for one fleeting moment,
to find that the journey was less than work for us.
They'll refine their relics and offer the sweetest up
to me, asking one more time: "Don't you want to laugh
like God?"
Don't let the songs fall without a word. Impending
nova, I'll watch you all burn.
"Lady bright eyed, guide me through this tumultuous sea
with much wine. Why the gods in all their immortality
wish that I die? But I won't die."
When a word is spoken by the lonely, then a gift is
said to the receptive. Though weary eyed they still
return the warmth and smile. Not in need of further
gestures, they're singing songs of celebration. Place
your heads inside the halo's ring and grasp this
understatement.
Let all the angels reclaim their territory and sleep
with their lights on, lest any footsteps feel darkness
in orphan bondages, muting their fanfares. Return to
waveforms and trust in our common heritage. We could
become God. Our trust in this fiction creates faith in
our appendages. Don't let the songs fall in flames.
"Hell, Hell well are you now?"
"I am here."
"In a daydream I died. I was Jekyl. You were Hyde. In
you I seek ally. Enemy. Hell, Hell where are you now?"
"I am here."
