And as the magic fades
Press it into your memory Like a flower Folded between its pages Preserved in an afterimage Of its former glory. hmm (sorry for the lack of poems while I was away!!) - Atlas

Breathless
Running towards Some distant horizon I know that I will never get there And yet (And yet.) looking for something - Atlas You have written (as of now)
Five angry songs about me And I have written So many more Conflicted poems about you I'm not gonna lie, it doesn't feel great - Atlas There are some days when I forget
All the unanswerable questions That come with being alive Today is not One of those days. bleh - Atlas The snows missed us by an inch
Our protective bubble struck again Deflecting the worst of the storm To other places, leaving Only flurries behind. And so I experienced grief tangentially Always skirting around the edges of a vast and incomprehensible storm. I wonder how much of life is made up of all the things We almost missed, Almost had. two disparate things with parallel lines running through them - Atlas Sometimes I feel like we are a run-down train
Click-clacking along the path To its inevitable demise. Sometimes I feel like we're normal. Today, I am somewhere in between. bleh - Atlas "you don't listen to me," you say.
"ah, yes," I respond. "if I listened to you I would do what you want, right?" (there is no room for me in this particular equation.) the illusion of choice is no choice at all. let me choose. this is one thing you don't get to decide - Atlas Say hello to the monsters
In the corner of your eye Wish them well For ghosts and the undead are not the only ones Looking for peace hmmm - Atlas And I hope your dreams are pleasant
Even if you don't Remember them I hope some semblance of sweetness lingers on the edges Of your vision. that's as much as anyone can ask for, I suppose - Atlas While I understand on an intellectual level
That there are some things in life I am going to have to build For myself On a practical level things are much Less clear how am I going to do this, can I do this - Atlas |
