The World Turned Upside Down


The colors begin to bleed, the lines begin to bend 

The trees stand still in the raging wind of rain

The water tastes like sky, the flowers turn to ash and grey

The stands all align in the eye

The choirs start to chant, the drums start to weep

Every time the sea comes forward, it ceases to be 

Nothing is everything and everything has changed

The world is so
