Poplar
I’m questioning so much my tongues pierced with question marks
Deeper than an impulsive phase
Pulling pulp from my impulses of phrase:
An embark
Assimilate the Druid tree
Pull myself apart
Whats the meaning of separation
Been almost 2 thousand days
Defined by the day of duration
-
Not a single day one remains
Try to think back
sky the in Cranes
So much to gain from pains
But why is it, when I’ve looked in the eyes
Of the suffering
Lines tend to deepen in the skin
So far within,
It’s changing dna
Generational abuse
Use of the kaleidoscope
Using one eye
Assure you it’s not the third
Birds eye view from what you heard
Obsessing over what you over heard
Don’t feel enough, Xs and Os
That’s why hashtags, become tic tac toe
I still hear the alarm clock,
Keep telling me that your woke
Even with teeth still find a way to choke
-
Wavering faith
Law of attraction
Pulling up in the wraith
With the bass still blasting
Those vibrations are only so strong
For so long
Been expanding my literature
Got time for no songs
As I sit in this 6 cornered room
With a leather booklet
More like a looking glass
Put in past
Accompanied by wood and brass
Used to know
Now all I really do is ask
What happens when those piercings expand
What’s not good,
Is to sit and watch the lines in my hand
Hoping I can tight rope n balance my way to success
Physical matter had me thinking I had less
•
I stuck my diamonds back in the ground
Now I got more
Isolation drove me off shore
I’m staring out at west and fort cove
Still smelling the embers of nov
Knew it was just about winter
This years different I feel real transitions
It’s too late, to be having premonitions
~
I’m scared for my dawg
He trapped in the fog
His own shadows haunting him like a ground hog
Ya see dawg
I’m wondering if change and growth are
synonyms
I can run from home, but when homes from within
Best I can do is make myself spin
You know where I’m at
Wipe your feet on the mat
Dirt all in the house
I had enough with that
-
I’ve been shook
Question marks have been fish hooks
Although I’m getting pulled out of water
Placed on land
I don’t know exactly where I stand
~
I won’t sit and watch the lines in my hand
