fear of power

 


breathe in pure light

and hold it

 

nation of ghosts, right?

 

feels good to be someone

other than the one

who’s bleeding

 

open your mouth

and all hope is lost

 

early spring, cold as

hell, frost on the windows

 

poison in the veins

 

love whatever is is you

can never have, but

don’t draw attention to yourself

 

river of corpses, right?

 

set the fuckers on fire and

listen to their families sing

 

paint pictures of god with

your other hand, the one

that lies to stay hidden

 

bite into rotting fruit

without considering the

deeper implications

 

let hope keep you tied to

the things you already have

in life, but avoid open water

 

live in the shadows

of tired hills

 

didn’t your father ever teach

you how to stay hidden

out in the open?
