Raise The Shade

say
"youre right, step down. stop thinking out loud"
stay up, too late- listening
grey tips dipped in water
tracing across her fingers
chasing from lips to ears
its the half of this place to keep, conversation.
thats just your game

let go when you know you're facing these conversations
they pour themselves out of prayer
start spinning in circles

say
"youre right, step down. stop thinking out loud"
stay up, too late- listening
each voice is a tremble dipped in ink
scripted. and still think
the ink fell off your lips

let go when you know you're facing these conversations
they pour themselves out of prayer
start spinning in circles
stop me
speak without decision
