Coincidentally

By midnights voice

Coincidentally



in the dark room
without curtains
on the window

the bold have withered
like the fish
out of water

I hid the moonbeams
cut their threads
without distinction

I hid your collection
of the sharp things
that made you subjective


And the stars are so cold
representing a life that was lost
the lost were the bold
that paid at such a cost


you made a promise
just so
you could break it

you told a lie
with red ribbons
around pink carnations

So on the morning
of deliverance
you made an exception

like the train
down at station
you looked good in cold

    The sharp things that made you subjective...A piercing and poignant muse to be sure MV. The clarity of insight through pain perhaps; but it can be a viscous cycle. Cheers my friend! - Dan

    "you look good in cold" is my favorite line. It would be hot to see a bird man in real life I think while running with my head turned haha!

    "and the stars are so cold" was a huge anchor for me on this piece. Great work. Also, the picture leaves me wondering about globalization and how ideas travel and did the idea of this bird deity (can't find the name of it) get there through travel or was there really a bird/human hybrid deity... leaves my head slightly spinning.

    Yes it is all very intriguing like the hammer found in solid rock that is 40 million years old ot the frozen forest recently uncovered from melting ice in Antarctica that is 200 million years old from which they were able to extract DNA from .

    I love all the new finds they've been digging up. Would love to know the solutions to some of the world's mysteries.
