And now it’s time to let it go
It’s time to let it breathe
This is the moment you leave alone
This is the home that you leave
Take a breath
Now lay upon your glowing dim, low-flowing tidal wave within
Your slow-motion undertow and your own implosive whim
That buzzing hum and that roaring hymn, black
And boiling to the brim, free from your own syntactical spin
Bursts your fiery light
And fades of a sudden into your own sullen and gray night sun
With the last of your lights on
Flicker blast of a charging chant
An electrical lamp
Bellows from deep within your throat
A hollow kind of hope
And throughout all the space that the universe knows
And through whose undertow you swim, unrelenting
And within the expanse of an empty verse
You let go of your own charming curse
Bestowed upon you from the moment of birth
And as potential gives light, when you’ve missed your mark
But the glow recedes from the grooves of your heart
The only thing right is that you’ll grow into the dark
Cuz cynicism grows into what you cannot forgive,
So forget it
And move beyond your own un-begotten sunset
Notice how slow in the length of the night
Is the gradual crash into light
The boiling ringing of the sky’s return
Never lives up to the let down of a numbing burn
Cuz it may be your last long night without a throbbing storm
Within which to find your half-eaten soul unworn
But I’ll take a chance on that
So chant that last breath of regret
Just don’t choke on that everlasting breath
Let’s not let it end like that
Because from that near-sighted past, I only want exit
And I only want strength in that special kind of emptiness
