Sit here - with me (watch the seasons dance your dance)

by Sam Roberts

Swinging insanely, this chair creeps
crows nest, and the back of my head is smiling, it’s so sweet
drawing blood from my ear
Awake in the winters wedlock, tying the air and my lips together
frozen over, mute.
So,

Sit here;

may the blood bullets screw inside, slip inside your wasted fingers
Tearing you apart, half lip, a simple Half lip
a simple blood river to have me cower.

These are my shoes you’ve trampled in
I am infected and subdued,
and so you continue, laying my emptiness to re live my autumn in your hands,
I was happy being empty and the autumns dry leaves that whispered
Around my feet.

But the colours always soothed you more

Befriend it, sit here.

Standing on springs feet!
Oooh, so floozy with your wondrous words
Death is kinder
I’ve forgotten how to write about the seasons

'Befriend it, sit here', this simple line speaks volumes.This feeling of feeling one with what is, is WHAT IS. Beautiful.
