f a l l e n

by @MilesNowhere & @AmandaCary

core pulse

- - - - - - >

140 BPM

exhale to breathe

white light

red eyes

feeding / feeling

...............it ALL

I stumble and....

thaw

flawed and raw

floored by

gravity's law

lost between space

somewhere......

thoughts won't go

at least......

they shouldn't

not in this place

not at such a pace

that beautiful face

keeping me bound

weight me down

<please>

hold me down

I kiss the ground

at your feet

I am

f a l l i n g ........

I do,

I flail and I fall 'til

The black bottoms through

Suspend in your call while

The Earth makes its rounds

And it opens

Bound at the base

But it flowers

A slow pry to a pop

In scarlets, in violets

All amber in hue

There is you

Wading in rhythms

That I never knew

Riding on riddles

That should never exist

Cradled taught in your fist

I play safe

In your fingers

I kiss the ground

At your feet

I am

f a l l i n g...........

core pulse

----------->

180 BPM

remember?

I dreamt you....

what sweet hell!

water

theres always water

a trickle etched

a half baked sketch

my mongrel masterpiece

of longing

from decay

it wasn't the dream

but the waking

lucidly shaking

in (meta) boots....

of rusted dead roots

the crippling

penance of years

now

breaking away

to dig this tree

I kiss the ground

at your feet

I am

f a l l i n g........

I do,

I remember the sound of your

Heart as it cracked

Under pressure

The static reining of voices

Erasing the fissure

A hard mend was our ferry

To prod us through

And I knew

In an instant

I knew it was you

I had waited

So I kneeled to the distance

A heed in its cue

I pulled stops

Peeled the plaster

Shredding cords to a master

And I watched as you splattered

For this

Splinter frayed edges

Pry fixtures

No more treats for the tricks

Shift your salt through an

Air wave

As you fell into flew

Onto me

Thank you

I kiss the ground

At your feet

I am

f a l l i n g.........

core pulse

----- --- -- -

your history

a page upon mine

into the carbon

of friendly fire

<pfft>

we claim the pyre

perhaps our flame

will mark our time

back to element

we find

our way

dancing as cinders

together alone

together as one

together in always

to the very end of things

where breath

returns to air

and life

returns as grace

to rest in that place

I kiss the ground

at your feet

I am

f a l l i n g...........

I do

Too

I won't catch you

We weren't made for a count

A fire built to braise numbers

Fasten time to a tilt

I will

Fall

With

You

Meld right into your wind

A surrender

My hook looping your skin

Anti-clockwise we'll fail

Twisting backward

For presence

For half-taken tocks

Ticking twice on the kisses

Crush these overturned rocks

Until everything

Stops

And our soul is left

Weightless

And our stitches give in

To our beating

To our One

Now not torn from within

We kiss the ground

At our feet

We have

fallen..........
