Satunnainen teksti

static

I feel like I've lost the skill
to communicate
not with myself but with others

I'm found in a strange reality
the steps go in different directions from one another
thoughts merge together
and I hear
nothing but static

am I inside a TV?
hit
we might clear

what if

what if
I don't know how to be a man
this meat suit is getting older
before me

what if
I learned to breathe with the fish
soar with the birds
before humanity

what if
you would tell me
who I am
before I fall

echo

every day
and every night
I think about my thoughtlessness
a skill
which barely exists

                            breathe
                      breathe
        breathe
              breathe

an electric current hits the water
continuing its course
in a new terrain

my written answer
is my life

are you proud?

silence

the sea massages my toes
coolness is welcome
in a hectic life

how can something which is broken
gloat so much heat
- fury -
like a drowning pressure wave

silence is loud
in my family
death is not a solution
but a bomb
which ran out of time

peace is not a possibility
the puzzle pieces don't fit together
the table is on fire
a building collapsed

my mind is drowning
to surface noise
I'm listening

false death

it's difficult to be brave
        small animal
among other animals

the pH value of life is engorged
               fear
        shame
are the bubbling the circuits close

today the quilt is my friend
warm food buries me
to the ashes of a phoenix
to wait on feelings

someone's mother

Monopoly money is all she knows
internet to her is mostly unknown
to her the children never grow
afraid of getting old

I don't know what waits for her
at the end of the stairs
I do know what remains at the beginning
the life she never got to live
