Intentions

Say words quickly as to
warble low and slow. Carefully unload the stones strapped across your back. And pick the shells from off and out, of your bony spine. We are not able to carry anything that will cause us to trip and drop our vows and intentions. Fate permit. Our hands are slippery and mistrustful of us. Never blame the floor for the direction of your own steps. And please punish instead of releasing especially for free. Such dastardly thoughts and plans they lay out for me… It is hopeful to write down our own recipes? Which all may follow but never forgive? Would you relent to us the directions to forget, when lights dim. And lights do dim. But I’m sure you’d be shocked, when you’d find out where you’d stand when they did. |
