inarticulate thoughts of your own heart
distilled essence of everything
avoiding the iceberg
you can't come up for air
while smoke is in your brain
with a blindfold on
In the blink of an eye
It's time to release the deepest yearnings
no sense of humor and no acknowledgment
of any brightness
that integrates and gives breath
spells that will destroy
filled with sadness inside
a man in chains,
hardly able to move
uncertain and afraid
tunnel that the train comes through
directly to any destination
the eye begetting
the illuminated page
