Stop To Question

Black Pearl


Stop to question satellites lost in vast 
expansions of space place it in fists finding 
more than we asked for 'misconceptions' 
reflective glance into what we should have 
known "it was right there."
If you could have just flown by unnoticed, 
unchallenged we would still have careless wonder 
left in our eyes now we just wait to see behind 
yours behind eyes these sidewalks twist and 
tremble under the new found failures swirls 
of red and gray mixtures of the brick inlay, 
tear the clouds bring on the rain watching 
faces fall everyday letting it wash them down 
we never thought to little just not enough so 
now back to present found at the tops of rock 
walls where the spires climb so tall the wheat 
fields growing all to much importance of fate, 
of faith bridges collapse behind us leaving no way 
out still lost in thought we find none of this 
bothersome not troubling whatsoever claim what's 
ours the headlights ahead are in blinking 
confirmation offering reassurance we were right
take it back down this is me hanging from a nail, 
missing the broken frame and burnt edges face cut 
out between two worlds, 
the first so obviously surreal and the other so
lifelike yet so dead and true but which should we choose, holding our feet, 
building our cities.
