It will come soon
The width of time
Where we hop off lines
Of straigtened movement
And decide to take the paths
Less paved through
We will blaze them down
The dead growth that precedes us
And we will leave
It be
As it should
Have been from the start
We will meet
When these burnt paths converge
Perhaps we will enflame
The old candles we used to hold
Hand in hand
But what of the wax?
Maybe it has melted
Maybe I have had my fair share
Of bees and their honey
But we are birds with
Beaks a-fetter
I think I have chirped too much
I do not eagle eye
Or despize the prey I have become
But rather I am aware of it
So let it happen
As it was when things began turning
South and sour
Just spilt milk status
Spoiled in time for tommorrow to pass
Off goes the cap
To split lips
That will soon learn to spit
Of rot and
Broken words in need
Of extra strength chapstick
