men lost in machinery
grew up in the country
stumble with broken bones
[memories that cut me deeper
push them all away
past breaking into this night]
eyes like witchcraft photograph lost time
run through broken pictures on the wall
no escape can lead me closer
sit where sunlight freezes time
verses curse with eloquence
defend the damage in our cells
everything faced
before they pour all our secrets
into the evaporating skies
waste years locked inside this sharp knife
dreams lost between stolen pharmacies
children wave into the spotlight
they run away from sickness
cutting grain mumbling unfocused words
reach for choices hidden in the atmosphere
dig deeper through your pockets
pick apart every string of color
flush burning sins into every wound left
down into the sinking sand
Shattered Mind
