Kraken's Dream

Tidal sirens call the shots in ship wreck bay

There be monsters on the edge of today’s mundane

The indentured tossed into a scripted waste

Waiting on a vessel and a vision of a better place

Where I’d find a nest to pacify myself

I’m in the frame but always looking somewhere else

My Compass lost; I navigate these consequences

Tired of burning bridges

Wasting timber building fences

Drawing lines around and minding all this punctuation

A punishment for all the badly drawn boys cast in trenches.

These are Consequences

In the stampede pushing through till I remain

Woven in a shield of broken arrows deconstructing the maze within the maze

Hacking down the hedge to see beyond myself

I glimpsed the borderlands at the gates of hell

My Compass lost; I navigate these consequences

Tired of burning bridges

Wasting timber building fences

Drawing lines around and minding all this punctuation

A punishment for all the badly drawn boys cast in trenches.

I’d communicate my mind

But I have no mouth and no time

A kraken in the wild

Carried by the tide

The world is ending just as the next begins

Hoist a sail with hope that you could start a again

My Compass lost- I navigate these consequences

Tired of burning bridges

Wasting timber building fences

Drawing lines around and minding all this punctuation

A life you never tried to find

There are consequences
