I'm a bottom-feeder
My home is among the plumes
Trapped within my carapace
Trapped within the home I've made
Tired of this ocean
A thousand atmospheres of ocean
Let me wander beyond the hot black smoke
I will travel
A thought trickles down
A thought trickles out
I’m a bottom feeder
My home is among the plumes
I refuse to stay here like the ten thousand before me
I am hopeful
I shall see roads untraveled
Leave the chimney stacks behind
I will travel
I will walk and wade and swim to the sun
I will claw my way up and out
I refuse to stay
Leave the chimney stacks behind
And walk through strands of twisting light
Shimmering surface
Strands of twisting light

Chaos

Breath, sweet breath
Searing light I’m standing in
Standing on the sand
Standing, blaring lights on my back
Highlights my constriction, malformation
Too small, let me up and out - I’m bubbling, I’m boiling
My armour constricts, break it off
Smash this porcelain
Throw myself upon the rocks to score myself open
Claw myself from this tired exoskeleton
I am the first of ten thousand, ten billion
Unfurling, teething - screaming, bursting anew
Growing, lifting myself up from the steaming ocean
I stand on untraveled road, squinting at a setting sun and sand
A green mirage, a forest, I run
Colours running, blurring into trees, I dance
Dancing, swirling, colours run, hopeful
I reflect - I know the ocean waits
Breathe, breathe deeply
Twisting light, sleep deeply
Sleep amongst the blades while distant chimneys sway
Breathe deeply, sleep deeply
I dream I’m not a bottom feeder

Awake, the smell of smoke creeps in
Crackling fire, cracking porcelain
Spitting sap, splitting wood, searing flames
Black smoke from the forest - what used to be a forest, what have I done?
Lost, how did this happen?
Broken porcelain, shards, hanging stars in molten glass
Through embers, I wade
I wade through the boiling mud
I wait for change
Searing grey
Porcelain shards, boiled glass, and ash
Afraid
Twisting plumes, glowing embers
Black mud, pouring rain
I reflect, I know the ocean waits
On the surface, chimneys sway
Pull yourself together, pull yourself away

The Weight Of An Ocean
02:55
|

Tired of this sand and sunlight
They’ve blasted my eyes to blindness, darkness, crystal clarity
Now I know how to be better off - just see
Clouds occlude my face, the waves erase my footsteps
In the dead of night, I prepare the vessel that will take me to rest
Let me slide, it doesn’t hurt a bit
The moon trickles out, trickles down, trickles in
It shimmers far above me as I swim

I refuse to return to the road I've travelled
Too proud to walk, but I'm too tired to wade
I'm flotsam - I'm toxic jettisoned waste
Drifting, floating, dragging myself through this timescape
Broken porcelain
Billowing plumes of smoke
Floating, drifting, swirling, seething
Walking, wading, drowning, breathing
I refuse to swim - to return to the road I've traveled
Too tired to wade into waters tamed
Made grey by apathy, I’m flotsam
Homeless, lifeless, lustless, listless
Lost - bound to the broken state
I wait, I wander, I wait
Floating, drifting, swirling, seething
Walking, wading, drowning, breathing
Just jettisoned waste
Lost
