Endurance and Clenching Jaws

Feeling held -- lips abound
parting precipices giving nothing

awkward

The like is seen, but can't find it's way
beneath the sheen coating
Partly because the nervousness,
but otherwise the mind unstirred

knowing what
thinking that
killing thus

A shaky departure holding on
to what is and what was and what may and what will
and what was undone
fulfilled.

The meeting complete.
The apartment unkempt.
Live in this place.

You will see.

Oh you will see.

The better begins one step at a time.
The better. The better.
Always better.

Conceived from rich and brought down in taste
I lived in the hills. I lived in the hills.
This waste is now me.
Me only me.

Condensed. Subside. Subsidize my mind.
I bid you farewell.
Hope to see you again.

Stars grace the ground and arose a rose on arm.
Goodbye time unspent.
Hello tomorrow -- says bottle hello.
Uptown away.
Fancy away.
Veneer.
Sheer veneer.
I see through you.
I see through you today.
