Stop Motion Cyclops

There’s a looseness in my chest that’s like a rope with too much slack and then you hold my hand and suddenly we rhyme. The singing in your fingertips entrances me and spirals round my head like a swirling glass of wine. You’re the Polaris of my dreams, the siren song that drifts me out to sea, and I’m wonderfully wondering why Sometimes when you look at me the clouds all disappear and I am captured in the radiance surrounding. Then your smile just sweeps me to the dizzy atmosphere and I am swimming in the splendor so astounding. You’re the Polaris of my dreams, the siren song that drifts me out to sea, and I’m wonderfully wondering why As I wander through the valley of your coffee flavored kiss, I am a vagabond that’s bonded to you truly. And all the empty boxes echoing with solitude, I have surrendered to the void through and throughly. You’re the Polaris of my dreams, the siren song that drifts me out to sea, and I’m wonderfully wondering why it’s me.

Help me, I’m surrounded by wasps, I can’t hear what they say Buried under their droning buzz, the antidote for the day Your garage bares its fangs, tossing commas into barren soil Interruptions sprout springtime through, bearing tumult and turmoil Lie die, lie die die die die, Lie die die die die, lie die die die Help me, I’m surrounded by wasps, furious wings poisoned to life Squinting I can see through the swarm, feel your indifference like a knife Shall I collapse into clothes, wriggle down in my elbowed sleeves Or vibrate into atmosphere, anti-matter no one can perceive Lie die, lie die die die die, Lie die die die die, lie die die die Lie die, lie die die die die, Lie die die die die, lie die die die Lie die, lie die die die die, Lie die die die die, lie die die die Lie die, lie die die die die, Lie die die die die, lie die die die

If you need a place to rest, then I can accommodate you It’s a super-secret special nest, your own ultra-plush Xanadu Just follow the wood-paneled path, you can slip out your worry shoes Wrap yourself in the warm embrace of my shag carpet heart for you If the world has you worried and worn, all the way down to the bone Southbound shoulders and face fully forlorn, all the world a gray monotone Take a trip to my colorful den, bid all those terrible thoughts adieu Sinking slow in the woolly depths of my shag carpet heart for you And you can stay as long as you wish, make yourself at home Dream of perfect memories drenched in Kodachrome Nestled in our reverie reminisce, this sparkling shag carpet bliss And everyone is welcome, I’m not barring the door My heart is just as forgiving as it’s shag carpet floor We can make a new paradise, all our troubles faded from view Starting over and living our best in my shag carpet heart for you

Icy blood orange moon, sand sifting between fingers, forgotten treasure White noise crashing waves, wind churning memories on subconscious tether Read the Morse Code in our tracks See the sky all melted wax In your tears the seashells sing We’re a part of everything Fire blends the colors, heat warps and dances our face, waltzing molecules Dreams fill the ocean, dissolve when they hit the beach, lethargic whirlpools Read the Morse Code in our tracks See the sky all melted wax In your tears the seashells sing We’re a part of everything Read the postcard frayed at the edge See the blank space over the ledge In our tears the mermaids sing We’re a part of everything

Self-loathing smirk, eyebrowed away, dropped in the coffee to evaporate Slice through the gloom, sour apple green, disarmed in the grace of St. Augustine She sends me to the stars, she floats me over the trees We’re forever entwined, she is my infinity Your heart is an egg, fragile and full, hiding from shadows that creep from your skull Voyaging through, negative space, modify monsters that we can’t erase She sends me to the stars, she floats me over the trees We’re forever entwined, she is my infinity As our futures coalesce, like a tree burst in the living room Dispatch demons in the wake of our harmonious vacuum Conjugate dreams, igniting nouns, synchronized heartbeats in endless countdown Four three two one!

Trace your past with echo-sounding, let it vibrate to the crust Find results truly confounding, atrophied into stardust T. Rex skulls dance in your sighs, antiquated mystery Paper Mountains in your eyes, this ramshackle history This elevator crumbles round us, nothing here to ground us Suspended in our disbelieving, thorns cling to our breathing Smoke ringing with a Velcro crackle, history ramshackle Trace your past with echo-sounding, let it vibrate to the crust Find results truly confounding, atrophied into stardust T. Rex skulls dance in your sighs, antiquated mystery Cardboard statues scrape your skies, this ramshackle history Shadowy house is just a ringer, melts between your fingers Library full of hollow wishes, yawn like mouths of fishes Mirrors collapse the tabernacle history ramshackle Trace your past with echo-sounding, let it vibrate to the crust Find results truly confounding, atrophied into stardust T.
