off the hook

lyrics

this pain
was too great to carry
is this what the goddess requires?

our hopes
were so merry and many
before they all up and expired

the visionary
she tells you when to move and think
but gives you no cause for recourse

my name, crystalline and tattooed
geometry sprawled across my back
ink so preciously saved in

my skin, asking the questions
of fellow oracle soothing with
no answer to be held inside
my heart

like sand through your fingertips
i criticize your method of expression
your hazy days melt like your throat-aches
pressed against the walls my fingers build
to dam up your breathing, like sickness does
you're leaking lighter fluid and i'm a match
tinder-swept aside for the clearing.
more hiss than bark now, i said,
"letting you off the hook"
sounds so painful
if you've ever
caught a
fish

visionary
