you are a magic

go ahead! throw your life away!
there are gumball machines full of others
out there waiting for you to chew them up
each breath is a new delta of a Nile flowing
in both directions, a certainty of the miracle
galvanizing the planet of your skin
I am with you also
you are a magic freaking skeleton!
that dances and grieves!
when you make the final count
don’t forget yourself
don’t end up full of wormy tubes
to keep you dead inside
believe, in the dimmest hours
there are horns awaiting your graceless standing
think back not on disasters or emergencies
tragedy is only a single pocket
on the time keeper’s trench coat
relish the universe of bland tasteless moments
the awkward silences when you and I
are simultaneous + serendipity + salvation
these are the mountains that rivet
the valley of your electro soul
