The Miles Further

From the tracks


Make
The crucifixion
Seem


Like an obsolete
Stream of obscene
Stupidity.

It all becomes hazy
On this pillow;
Surrounded by candles
And

The harmonization

That
Is a
Fleeting
Intricacy

Floating delicately
Across the palms of my open hands;

Takes the place
Of everything you ever had to give
Me.

My ears sip the sleek night;
I see the stars
Inside
A near-stranger's
Eyes.

And the mystery of it all
Reminds me that I am

Real.
