Coal Walker.
By Six-Out
entrancing. it seems we're
balancing on broken shards of heartless.
moments. and I want to scream at myself
to throw away all of my
.shit.
and start _living.
-
I'm hell bent
{on being heaven sent}
-
so I spend minutes
mixing verbs and phrases
with lead based figure eights and aces
like the hands of a dead man- when poker faces
trains head on.
off the rails.
and my fingers trail like cherokee song
in language more dead than the dance
your eyes cast a glance
at.
and in closing.
it's easy to fake falling apart.
so I feel like throwing away all of my shit.
and forgetting what
living feels like.
so I can be text.
on this screen.
and tomorrow
I'll treat heaven like a sheet of paper
say to hell with feeling alive
and burn that son of a bitch
to the ground.

'fingers trail like cherokee songs...' THAT was one of the most intensely demonstrative word-weaves I have seen of long. Felt it. You are a poem that never stops being itself, can not NOT BE as is.

Yes. This. Experiences are what define us. I often feel like I am limbo stuck between the heaven of action and the hell of inaction. I can think of no worse fate than one of staleness. And yet what are words if the heart does not follow its own lead? Let me know if you figure this out.
