In the flicker of an incandescent sun
In the corner of my eye
Ink and shadow runs
Took a form of something vile.
Piercing days and miles
That old memory started cirñling
Some say I went blindly wild
Playing Ahab
High and dry, come, find me
Shaking, trembling, whispering "hold me tight"
Like a relic of a life nine-tenths collapsed
Full of condescending smiles
We've been trading pasts
When the overwhelming tide
Well, it took us by surprise
In the water started pouring
Some say I went blindly wild
Playing Ahab
High and dry, come, find me
Shaking, trembling, whispering "hold me tight"
Now, in the morning light
Our cadences collide
In prose and broken rhymes.
Capsized and left to read between the lines
