believe it

it is time
to unwind
"the dangling signs
from the hotel window panes"

the cool frost building
on all things quiet and still
the pills grasped
but dropping
and evaporating

like shuttles bursting through
the atmosphere
you move ever so slowly
into my eyes
you show me why

they
have

decorated
forest floors
doorways

into my mind
into your mind
the kind of find
you had as a boy

wandering
all around
find
to try
this diction
and fiction
resides
in your skull
flying through your bedrooms

with the truth of the wise
we move to the other side
of those, breaking
rising tides

reveal
a better way
say
its over
its never over
as my tear
rolls and
folds

then whispers:

"believe it"

Author's Note: can also hear the music for the eventual vocal track at www.myspace.com/geppettogestapo all of these poems were written before music was composed, the music then fit each song, and neither conforms to traditional song structures, resulting in an interesting collaboration
