Inside An Old Body

[rideronthestorm]

A burning intent
cuts through my path
I'm stepping on a timeless scar
Tracing the past of a
wonderful and familiar form
Back into its jaw bone
Living in a rattling tooth
Something to just say
that kills time when
decay turns dust to air

Even if I die
I think I ought to go and try
Living on two legs
alive in the eyes
My body is burning
with a vision moving,
living inside my mind

Time is timeless naked to itself
We’re just contained in it
being digested by the cosmos
I love you and it’s fine
even if I’m alone with all this time
Keeping a wish under my tongue
waiting to become released

Born into the air and eaten
by vibrating ears, dissected by
endearing minds and kept
within a dream because
I couldn’t be the only one
