Move

25 Oct

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.
