Stand With Me
By Phalanx
This is where I tack myself to bark.
My seems drip and I make such a mess.
White noise I tune into
Watching heads roll and I wait.
My gut's want this ghost figment.
Zero is neither a goal or objective.
It's a place I call home,
I just want somene else there
When the world dies.
Make me believe again.
I have the backing in these bones,
Just promise me.
I stand on quaking ground but,
I stand.

Your word play in the second line--"seems" instead of "seams," provides such an untethered quality to the piece. Brilliant portrayal of symbolism here. "Zero is neither a goal or objective / It's a place I call home / I just want someone else there / when the world dies."
