Truth & Dare


Come, world
Come crashing down
Just as you have threatened
While we stand up straight
Just as we have prepared
Come watch our audacious dance
Come, world
Blind to dark truth
Accuse me of such
Of reality
I do not think much
Visions with wings
My eyes focused there
Of what’s possible
My heart takes that dare
I will sit all day
With my back to your door
Not caring if I’m surprised
I’ll watch most boldly
With kindness and dare
That your gaze would find my eyes
Should you choose to hear
The voice in your head
That tells you to seek my frame
I’ll step to your side
Let others walk by
The world will not be the same
I wish I had a rocking chair
And while I was slow-swaying there
I’d make a list of all my dares
Then whisper them into the air….
Too much
Water
Has fallen
Fallen
By-running-too-fast-to-the-edge
The edge
Where water
Hoped
To live
Just live
Hey Galaxy
Give up your best tragic smile
From out of the dark look us square in the eyes
Like it’s the first time
Like it’s the last time
Kick out your knee and with one hand in your hair, use the other to calm down your thigh
Tell us you’re leaving
Part your lips and dare us to come with
