ersatzicsm

falling
the tears pushed by
wind from your skies

rocking
leaning
tilting from the hips
I watched it
felt it
sitting
near
across
beneath
while you whispered
from your lips

pull up
before you hit
the shelter
scream fast
scream low
helter skelter

up and off
tottering
on the legs
fast feet
you move
amongst the
thugs
drooling
your great fleet

fly fly fly
against the
greater sky
you wings are
useless
in the cage
he creates
for you
and I keep
nothing

off you go
for the greater show

and I find my way
cleansing my system
