Its always in the breaks you start pickin fights
you get one more drink but should have called it a night

all the eyes roll like ice in your glass
firecracker words preempt the trespass

feed complaints to the camera
sacrifice the panorama
living always starts with now
no one ever taught you how

to love


We all want a chance to start a fire
but quick to douse the flames when fortune comes around
hungry for the feast that’s waxing
suspicious of the moonlight calling

sabbaticals waisted looking for work
There’s enough to do right here, enough to do right heretime to stop the wandering
plant a seed settle in
build the soil care for kin
all directions lead to our death
all directions lead to our death


You can run away
you can skirt the toil but never get to play
when you finally build the castle intellect
the empty walls made of your regrets

stop mending fences
dawn the dying light
save your rage for the sport you choose in a resurrected life
wake to the morning song

If we never start to move our souls remain un found
