Elucidating Questions

Letting go is never done conscious

In saying I let it go you keep it close by giving it a name

Not until it doesn’t occur

Is it let go of

I still dream of him

I’ve found the best way to never let go

Is to never grab hold of

To start with just letting it flow past

Grab hold

And all you have left is to let go

I hope last year falls into the void it created

Why is the sun pink?

Maybe you should stop looking at it.

Maybe you should.

Low.

My wondering why they’re here doesn’t mean a thing.

I’ve been quiet and unapproachable

And so I’m still talking to the things

I just don’t care what I think they are

I smile for the sun with chapped lips and

Cherry skies

Thinking ticking of somewhere else

Long ago

Did you hear did you hear that day?

They say

You’re our enemy

Just a matter of time and space

Saying you ate the fourth alive

When it was us

The fifth gave up

And they get lost in the numbers

Human choice you can’t be sure

And of course she’s alive

But they aren’t dead

Wouldn’t it be nice if the bus came on time

Life is strange

Of course it is

Do you remember when my name was

Echo

When it was echo

It’s not a warmth to be known

We know how that feels

Right there like it could be real

And there’s a new string to be followed

It’s still beautiful

Sounds like classics ringing in thunder in a dark room

Check “yes” Juliet

Life is poetic irony

Midnight by now you’ve been and gone and gone and gone

Maybe I’ll whistle to myself

If I don’t call them they won’t know it’s my birthday

You say they’re meaningless?

Well that is what it’ll be

You feel so tired, you know that?

I’m so tired.

This is why I stopped listening to music

It just doesn’t fit doesn’t fit

At least the invisible don’t have to be erased

Spinel and Ruby

They are so small

Ruby so scared

Spinel so interested in it all

Tiny little babies,

Racing around their life.

I did it

He whispered to me, staring down in pride.

They’re beautiful, I tell him.

I get to see their whole lives!

I know.

Yes,

Spinel and Ruby,

They don’t yet know,

Just how they will have saved me.

Please stay.

Don’t go.

When I try to forget you

You name appears spelled out

When I try to pull away I’m filled with regret and doubt

There is nothing beyond here that I can see

Not what would bring you back

If there was one

Can you even consider it back when there wasn’t one to start with

How it feels to have someone whispering in your ears always

I wish I could fix him
