polaroid u

you

are the life you are the 

hard seasons the

recipe dating generations
back

careless restless and reckless

the soft viable understanding

at the end of a great confusion
soon escapes you

owls in the night upset 

your blood pressure you
throw parties you create
and destroy

you drink endless glasses
of milk and bourbon you

call and no one answers
you

raise high your fists you

splash around dark thoughts 

and then

and then one day
you give a damn you
really do you seek forgiveness
and the strength of
conviction

you change but all they see
is a snapshot a
polaroid

you upset the blood
pressure you reek of hard seasons
recipes dating back to a great
confusion

all that is left of you
is your change

open your fists and let
your hands meet. look
up to the sky. may the soft
and viable understanding
save you
