Move

The Suburbs: Arcade Fire

I’m moving past

all the thoughts that I had

and cycles that seemed

never to end.

I’m here to amend

every inch of thread

spent in haste

of not wanting change,

because how could I gauge

what I had? The rage

inducing scene where I

leaned over in laze.

I couldn’t make the case

for not treading in place

but never again.

Never again will I

see through copilot eyes.

No more tying the ties

conjured by ease.

I stand seizing the yoke.

Every urge, every joke

of a crave, now broke.

I’m moving past.

Moving on into the end.

Every moment spoken.

No restart. No try again.

I’m moving past.

Moving on into the end.

1928: Califone

Cold stone phone woke again.

Courting song sung in tones.

Cold ride froze my toes.

Sorting words to keep sane.

Hasty call, “Damn it all”

I dive into the sound.

That old stroke coming round.

Spotting shrouds around.

Quarter hour of self defeat.

Crane bones. Lift to sky.

Stars pull ropes of mine.

(My weight while I why)

There’s tunnels buried under me.

Sloping sly, a gentle mile.

Melting down a fading smile.

Home again upon the tile.

It’s about

Leaving Home – Yo La Tengo

Life’s about spreading kind.

Well I’ve been having a real good time

teaching you the ways

to one day take my place.

No, I know I’m going to be fine.

And if I’m not, my sign

will shine upon my face.

My love will make it’s case.

Because life’s about the love you find

and simple little frames of mind

and never running out of time or space.

You can’t lose if there’s no race.

The pride and joy I feel inside

supercede all previous highs

as I see you learn, love and play.

A fire you built for all my days.
