Oasis
Palms fit flesh against warm wood
coaxing steel melodies from worn strings
softened by hands and time
bend and dip to sound out twisting whispers
as the body creaks and sighs with age and noise
fill up its hollow cavity with dancing demons
the ones that lived in my head and are racing
Fire Bright
through my veins and out crooked hands
to possess this objectified Soul of mine
in a fit of Madness
so divine
like moonshine on the water
that laps
sways
churns
all around this little Inverted Parody
this oasis of sand in the blue
while my mind slips away in the night
and sails to another Shore
long forgotten
but warm and familiar
maybe the place I used to be
with this old wood carcass I resurrect with my hands
and
maybe I'll see it again when the wind and sun strip my brittle bones
but in this little vignette all I need is
Time
to fit my palms flesh against warm wood
and coax steel melodies from worn strings for all these
demons to dance by
these demons of Mine.
