Radio Off

I like others
The way they can sing
About their love
Of another
Don’t stop

I like the voice
In my head, and its pitch-perfect
Singing about
No one and everyone 
It won’t stop

Begin Before Breakfast

I inhale it all in
Back straight and stretched
Allowing air into places
The world bids me to forego
Just when the stiffness
The starched, itchy-stickiness
Tries to take over 
To bubble over
I exhale and come away
Clear-headed

skorpíos

I hear you’re lonely for me
The sun must’ve tucked itself behind a cloud
Don’t worry it’ll pass

I feel you reaching for me
But I have muscle I wish to grow and I must go
I’ll leave you here to grasp

I see you thinking of me
Why the tears and low eyes as you walk away
Please come back

Digital

You disconnected me and now I know
I’m here to build my own tower
I’m here to harness the lightning
I’m here to wire the world
I’m here with high-bandwidth, hello
You there on the grid

Function and Form

Maybe I had to fall
Probably I needed the thief
Or the cries of the world
Sound too distant to me

I’m sure my role was to sink 
Made for the dark of the deep
So when at last I ascend
I’ll know to bring others with me
