for the taking

I can feel the world-changing

Beneath my feet,

Phases

I don’t know what I’m chasing

But it has no skin

Vacant 

Placement 

Of stars and symbols

Quaking 

Like nervous knees 

on stages

And the replacement

A sturdy heart

Faceless 

I think my feelings are too big for my body

It’s breaking

And the love I thought was love but wasn’t love

Left me jaded 

And now when I try to count sheep they run in the other direction

It’s complicated

The world turns on an axis 

But my knees are straightened 

Even though things look sideways 

The coordinates manipulated 

That is to say, that perception is like water

Always shifting, ever-changing

So I break my bones into sharper angles

Just to start a conversation

And when you try to meet me at the center

You’ll be left with an equation 

That I’m still trying to solve myself

Still left deliberating 

All I’m trying to say is

The table is set and the oven is on

Baking

What always belonged to us

It’s no mistake and 

There’s a time for everything 

But now is mine for the taking
