LIFE IS AT THE TABLE CLAIMING DISCUSSIONS WITH ME
"HONEY, IT'S NOT A PERFORMANCE" SHE YELLS AS SHE DRINKS HER TEA
TWELVE HUNDRED SECONDS AGO I CLAIMED AN OWNERSHIP OF THESE
WAVES THROWING ME AROUND WEIGHTLESS LIKE A SCENT LIKE A BREEZE
FUNNY I WAS JUST MARVELING ON HOW GRAND I MUST BE
DANCING IN THIS WATER SO CHOICELESS SO EFFORTLESSLY
BUT THEN I FELT MY CORPSE DRIVEN TO WHERE MY FEET COULD REACH
TO WHERE THE WATER AND THE LAND CARESS AND THEY MEET
MAYBE I'M UNWANTED MAYBE I'M DESTINED TO MARCH
SUNSET ON MY BACK, THE LIGHT I CAN NOT SEE
BUT I REMEMBER WHAT YOU SAID AND I KNEW IF YOU WERE HERE
THE WAVES WOULD UNINVITE YOU BUT YOU WOULDN'T THINK IT QUEER
FOR I WOULD BE THERE AND SOMEHOW YOU'RE COMPLETE
LIFE IS UNDER THE TABLE AND SOMEHOW THERE IS MAGIC THEREIN
I HIDE AND THINK AND DO WHAT I HAVE BEEN GIFTED TO BRING
A KINGDOM I BUILT IT STARTS FROM MY INSIDES TO A HOUSE TO A KIN
I AM THE SILK OF YEARS I AM WITH YEARS I HAVE SOFTENED YOUR SKIN
YOU'LL LOOK AT A WOMAN AND INSIDE HER YOU'LL MEET YOUR TWIN
SPEAK TO HER WOMB REMEMBER YOU WERE ONCE WITHIN
YOU ARE NOT GOD BEFORE YOU ARE THOUGHT OF THROUGHOUT A SIN
SO I STRETCH MYSELF ACROSS LIKE A HORIZON LIKE A FOUNTAIN
MY HEAD BECOMES THE SUN SOON TO MELT IN THE INK OF MY PEN
AND I AM BROUGHT TO WITNESS THE SUNSET AS IT BEGINS
I TIRE THEM WITH RHYMES WITH MUSIC LIKE SUCH A PRINCE
BUT LIFE JUST TOLD ME SON, FEAR NOT IF YOU ARE NOT MEANT TO SWIM
MY CHILDREN CONSUME TEARS OF WATER OF SALT DID YOU FORGET
LOOK AT THE OCEAN INSIDE YOU THIS IS WHERE THE BOAT SAILS AT BEST
SO IT'S TRUE WHAT YOU ONCE TOLD ME ON THAT HILL DURING SUNSET
THE MORE YOU WEEP, THE MORE YOU KNOW
THE MORE YOU WEEP, THE MORE YOU KNOW
"HONEY, IT'S NOT A PERFORMANCE" SHE YELLS AS SHE DRINKS HER TEA
TWELVE HUNDRED SECONDS AGO I CLAIMED AN OWNERSHIP OF THESE

I call him Danny. He comes to me like a piece of summer, he comes to me when i need it the most. He is the sole reminder that the sweat during sunset time is a gift from God. When summer dies, he disappears because he has a mission: reminding other hearts of summer that heat mixed with colors of honey helps dreamers sweat out every thought they wish to get rid of, making room for new thoughts of colour.
