let me go
watch me walk away
you can run your fingers through the space i once filled
but you will never know the skin within
its pulsations follow only me and vanish as i do
much like the stars i need to move
through heavenly bodies, both dark and day
and as i migrate further my body disintegrates
and i become immoral in thought
spirits like stone are hard to budge but a little leverage goes a ways
suddenly a heaviness breaks upon me, the earth turns and hardens
time lies awake, alert of a presence
you can’t catch me, you can’t catch me
the wind never settles, the oceans never cease
don’t catch me, don’t bother
i want to feel my bones crack under the weather
