untarnished optics

in the highest coop

waiting;

not for a court date

egg to hatch

or a the crosshair to bleed red,

for the wind to shift.

for the softest landing around our ankles,

it wasn’t a ruling

a spoiled omlet

or an assassination,

a request to breathe.

so we wait,

in this coop,

for the wind to shift.

troy

it’s the nothing that scares me;

black voids

a space between nowhere

and a place that use to exist,

like a city forgotten by google maps

that place.

haunted by regret

sorrow

and a memory of existing,

it’s that place

that place keeps me up at night-

once littered with treasure

stripped clean like a harvest.

clipped crows

never a dull moment

words all frozen

runnin’ from the moment

never wanted to be your opponent.

but here we are;

windows wide open

fear holding the keys-

back when we were smokin’

loud world at ease- please

such a simple notion

being overseas

copin’ with a potion.

nothing but a busboy

singin’ sad songs on the arroyo

just need to be the best boy
